P2007 Fault Code

Intake Manifold Runner Control Stuck Closed Bank 2a

• What does that mean?
• Symptoms
• Causes
• Solutions

The P2007 fault code indicates that the intake manifold runner control (IMRC) valve for Bank 2 is stuck in the closed position. This valve controls the airflow through the intake manifold, optimizing performance by adjusting the length of the intake runners. When this valve is unable to open, it can lead to poorly balanced intake airflow and affect engine performance. The error typically triggers the check engine light, indicating a problem with the air intake system.

What are the symptoms of the P2007 code?

Common symptoms associated with P2007 include:

• Illuminated check engine light on the dashboard.
• Decreased engine performance and acceleration.
• Rough idle or stalling during low-speed operations.
• Poor fuel economy due to inefficient intake airflow.

What causes the P2007 code?

Several factors can contribute to the P2007 code, including:

• A malfunctioning or stuck IMRC valve.
• Broken or damaged actuator linkage that prevents the valve from opening.
• Electrical issues such as damaged wiring or faulty connectors in the IMRC circuit.
• Vacuum leaks or pressure imbalances in the intake manifold that could affect valve operation.

How to fix P2007?

To resolve the P2007 fault code effectively, the following steps are recommended:

1. Inspect the IMRC valve for physical damage, corrosion, or blockage.
2. Check the actuator linkage for any signs of wear or breakage.
3. Test the electrical connections and wiring for continuity and ensure there are no shorts.
4. If the valve is found to be defective, replace it with a new one.
5. Clear the fault codes and test drive the vehicle to verify that the issue has been resolved.
