Engine code P2187

Hi Guys, looking for a bit of advice on whether an engine management light coming on and then going out is something to be concerned about? I had an engine management light come on my Kia Venga so I got a code reader. 2 days later before the code reader arrived, the light went off on its own. Well I put the reader onto the car today to view the stored code and it says P2187 system too lean at idle bank 1.
Now I've driven about 400 miles since the light went off and its not come back on, seems to drive fine. Should I let sleeping dogs lie and assume all is fine as the light hasn't come back on or should I get it checked out by a garage anyway? I've got no warranty with Kia as I've has the car LPG'd so I'm wondering whether to pay or not to have it looked at, it was serviced last on New Years Eve.
Cheers

P2187 is related to an air leak (on a Sedona anyway).

Its probably the same fault codes on all models but ask on a kia forum to be sure.0 -
Venga has a 7 year warranty - go to your dealer they will sort it under warranty0

Get it sorted ASAP. If you are running weak the engine maybe running
dangerously lean.
