Hello,

The code P050E can get triggered due to several factors.
It could be because of intake air restriction, exhaust restriction, dirty throttle body. It can also get triggered for vacuum leaks.

The best course of action would be to take a look at each possibility and take appropriate action.

I have attached the trouble shooting guide for the code P050E below. Go through those steps as it can help you determine the issue.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you.
