Well I changed my motor mounts and that seemed to help some things. Then went and picked up a new air filter. Now getting P2187 so that’s not great.

I hope you kept the old parts. What brand are those struts?

Disconnect the battery for 15 minutes and let the car relearn. I changed a fuel filter once and it stalled out the car due to running too lean.

What are the fuel trims, like how lean is it running?
