Default I've got a DTC code of P2197

I was driving home today and my check engine light came on. It seemed to drive normal and I got it home and used my SCT tuner to get the code which came out as P2197. I was wondering if anyone else has had this code pop up and what does it mean and what are possible repairs? Also, when I got the code, I cleared it and took it for a quick spin and the light didn't come on so I don't know if my car was just having a bad day or what but I just want some input. Thanks guys. Also, my car is just as my sig says.

It's in the line at the top but here ya go

TSB 04-17-4: MIL Lamp On, Lean DTCs – 2000-’02 Escort and Contour If you find any lean DTCs on one of these vehicles, Ford says the cause may be an engine vacuum leak, possibly around the PCV valve or in the PCV vacuum plumbing. Such a leak may set the following DTCs: P0171, P0174, P1130, P1131, P1150, P1151, P2195 or P2197. The codes may indicate a lean fuel condition or a lack of heated oxygen sensor (HEGO) switching. Ford says not to replace the oxygen sensor, MAF sensor or PCM because the cause may only be a vacuum leak or an incorrect sized PCV valve that flows too much air.
To check for a possible vacuum leak, use your scan tool to look at long-term fuel trim (LONGFT) and short-term fuel trim (SHRTFT). With the engine warm and idling, add the long-term and short-term fuel trim numbers together. If the total correction is greater than plus 20% at idle, it probably indicates a vacuum leak that is making the fuel mixture run lean. To confirm the leak, rev the engine to 2,500 rpm and hold. Again, note the LONGFT and SHRTFT numbers. Add the numbers together. If the total correction at 2,500 rpm drops 15% or more, it confirms a vacuum leak at idle.
To find the vacuum leak, try pinching off individual vacuum hoses one by one while watching the SHRTFT number on your scan tool. When the SHRTFT number drops, you’ve found the leak. If no hose leaks are found, the problem may be a leaky intake manifold gasket. Try feeding propane around the gasket. When the SHRTFT correction drops, you’ve found the leak.

Wow, I can honestly say that's the most in depth troubleshooting procedure I've ever seen for a vacuum leak. I don't even know if my scan tool will look at long and short term trim numbers. I'll have to check that out. Nice info!

You can also use brake cleaner compared to the propane. As it is cheaper and easier to get.

Thanks guys, I called the dealer today and they told me the same thing as well. I have the factory manual and thats what it said to but I was just wondering if anyone has run into this problem. I will have to use my Snap-On scan tool and look at my long and short term fueling. I haven't driven the car since, it's been raining, but I might get to drive it tomorrow and I'm going to see if it even comes on again. Thanks again
