2004 mazda 3 check engine problems

Hi everyone,

looking for some help in solving my check engine problems. I have the following codes:
1) P2188 - system too rich at idle bank 1
2) P2178 - system too rich off idle bank 1
3) 0442 - I don't have a description for this one.

The car hesitates a lot and has no power until higher rpm's. I feels like it's flooding when I give it gas. It even stalled on me today when trying to take off on a green light.

thanks for your help and recommendations.

Thank you very much for the help. I will definitely check the MAF wire and EGR valve first. Hope it fixes my relentless problem.

Cheers!!
