How do you replace a short runner valve?

How do you replace a short runner valve?

The connector must be cut from the wires and discarded. Replace the connector with P/N 68064996AA. The original wiring was too short and was causing undue stress on the connector, creating a loose connection. This loose connection caused the faulty valve operation and as such, the wires and the valve had to be replaced.

What does the short runner valve do on an air conditioner?

The short runner valve is a bypass line that takes air from the plenum directly to the cylinder heads. This route is much shorter than going through the longer intake manifold. This bypass is controlled by a solenoid and an actuator.

How does the short runner valve work on a Dodge Ram?

The short runner valve is a bypass line that takes air from the plenum directly to the cylinder heads. This route is much shorter than going through the longer intake manifold. This bypass is controlled by a solenoid and an actuator. At rest, the solenoid keeps that valve closed and air passes through the longer intake manifold.

Where is the short runner valve actuator located?

The short runner valve actuator is the electric motor that moves the short runner valve to it’s correct position. The SRV actuator is the black plastic box mounted to the front of your intake manifold at the centerline, right above where the top radiator hose meets the engine.
