How severe is a code P2178 on a Volvo C-30 T5 2012. System too rich off idle. Is it serious. I am looking to buy to buy that car, should I?

SOURCE: 95 volvo 940 DL hesitates injector error codes 113, 212, 232

Check the fuse to the injector. If it is out or got wet, it could mimic these conditions. let me know what happens. I have an 85 model.

HI. i have scanned this report and, i do recommend passing on this vehicle for one good reason. The fact that it is used is a good reason for not spending your hard earned money on this Volvo. It could be a better buy if it were a newer model but, the drive in this model has shown accelerated depreciation and buying it used will not be a good idea.

Please rate and god bless:)

asically this means that there is a problem with the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor or circuit. The PCM detects that the actual MAF sensor frequency signal is not within a predetermined range of the calculated MAF value for more than 4.0 seconds. The simplest thing to do is to reset the code and see if it comes back. Then start with the cheapest, easiest repair procedures:

• Inspect for the following conditions:
  An incorrectly routed harness--Inspect the harness of the MAF sensor in order to verify that it is not routed too close to the following components:
  - The secondary ignition wires or coils
  - Any solenoids
  - Any relays
  - Any motors
• A low minimum air rate through the sensor bore may cause this DTC to set at idle or during deceleration. Inspect for any vacuum leaks downstream of the MAF sensor.
• A wide open throttle (WOT) acceleration from a stop should cause the MAF sensor g/s display on the scan tool to increase rapidly. This increase should be from 6-12 g/s at idle to 230 g/s or more at the time of the 1-2 shift. If the increase is not observed, inspect for a restriction in the induction system or the exhaust system.
• The barometric pressure (BARO) that is used in order to calculate the predicted MAF value is initially based on the MAP sensor at key ON.
• When the engine is running the MAP sensor value is continually updated near WOT. A skewed MAP sensor will cause the calculated MAF value to be inaccurate. The value shown for the MAP sensor display varies with the altitude. With the ignition ON and the engine OFF, 103 kPa is the approximate value near sea level. This value will decrease by approximately 3 kPa for every 305 meters (1,000 feet) of altitude.
• A high resistance on the ground circuit of the MAP sensor can cause this DTC to set.
• Any loss of vacuum to the MAP sensor can cause this DTC to set.
