What causes an intake manifold runner to get stuck?

What causes an intake manifold runner to get stuck?

Possible causes for this engine code include: Loose or binding intake manifold runners bank 2 Bad intake manifold runner position sensor bank 2 Open or shorted wiring in the IMRC actuator solenoid control circuit Carbon buildup on the IMRC flaps or intake manifold ports Corroded IMRC actuator solenoid connector face

What was the code for the P2004 intake manifold runner?

2009 Doge Journey SE, 2.4L V4 with 87000 miles Code 1 � p2004 “Intake Manifold Runner Control Stuck Open Bank 1” – I replaced the intake manifold runner control valve. It was relatively easy. 3 bolts and 1 connector.

How much does an intake manifold runner control cost?

Most auto repairs shops charge between $75 and $150 per hour. The Intake Manifold Runner Control (IMRC) is an electrically actuated system consisting of a motorized actuator with an attaching linkage for each housing on each bank. The linkage attaches to the housing butterfly plate levers.

What kind of solenoid does an intake manifold runner use?

Some models use a vacuum diaphragm operated actuator. An electronic solenoid (controlled by the PCM) regulates intake vacuum to the IMRC actuator in this type of system. A swirling effect is created by channeling and restricting the air flow as it is drawn into the engine.

What to do if your intake manifold is stuck?

If this is the case, it will be controlled by an electronic intake manifold solenoid. If you suffer from a intake manifold runner control that is stuck open, there are a few symptoms you will probably notice.

Why is my intake manifold runner not firing?

If you suffer from a intake manifold runner control that is stuck open, there are a few symptoms you will probably notice. Chances are that at least one of your cylinders is not firing, which can be quite easy to recognize.

What is the diagnostic code for intake manifold runner control?

P2006 is a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) for “Intake Manifold Runner Control Stuck Closed Bank 1”.

What should I do if my manifold Runner is stuck?

Mechanical linkage can be operated by hand to check for proper operation. If it binds or doesn’t open the valves, the linkage or manifold should be replaced. With a vacuum controlled system, the butterfly valves can be opened and closed with a handheld vacuum pump.
