You will have the solenoid to check and the harness. Look for broken, bent, pushed out or corroded terminals. If code P2017, sets there may be an issue with the operation of the flaps in the engine, which are controlled by the runner valve. Yep thats right, it came to stop at the bottom of an off ramp and died and wouldn't restart so I had to have it towed to a dodge dealership. If there is a link to a specific diagnosis strategy for the code then follow that and start testing. Inspect plug for dirt or rust.
It is also possible to get a similar code P2006 - intake manifold runner control stuck closed with similar electrical diagnostic checks performed for resolution. Turn car key to ignition position but do not start the engine. So I decided to dissect the engine curiosity , but in the end I fixed it. This code will usually not be very serious. I dropped the car off and waiting in the waiting room for an hour and a half with no one giving me any update. Good luck and hope this helps, Posted on Apr 23, 2009 Hello Bobby-Jo Hill, Fix it.
On some Toyota vehicles this code is triggered when the resistance of the heater circuit is above 10 A. I had codes P2004 and P2017 which means my car needs to be reflashed and have the Intake Manifold replaced because a valve was stuck open!!! The throttle control is pictured as it was removed. It sits on 3 pins. After running the car around the block the light went out and has run perfectly ever since. By using flat screwdriver you should be able to rotate it by 30 degrees.
If the valve has too much over or under travel this diagnostic code will be set. From my understanding its a sensor that tells the computer whether or not the valve is open. I just got a check engine light. What repairs can fix the P2017 code? I have looked around and see the valve located at the end of the air intake where it connects to the intake manifold - I don't see any obvious vacuum lines off nor do they seem dry rotted - anyone know of an issue with the valves - it is quite close to where the oil filter spins on - which kinda makes me suspicious that during the oil change something got bumped?? The condition may occur intermittently. The flaps got stuck in open position and engine is getting too much air. Yes, code was reset and came back. Are the flappers on the intake moving far enough? I have never heard of any cases in which it was serious or severely damaging.
If you find one missing let us know and we we'll add it immediately! Note a few of the prices. Now all forum sites kept saying that the intake manifold needs replacing when the code is relating to the intake manifold control valve not the manifold code p2004 Simple fix for me was take the intake manifold sensor off and soak the sprung loaded slotted pin in wd40 over night using a pair of pliers to twist it a few times before its left over night and then again in the morning. However, keep in mind that, with a Check Engine Light illumination, you can not legally pass inspection until the cause of the light is addressed. Unfortunately I could not turn the intake manifold flap shaft more than 10 degrees. Carbon build-up or manifold warpage will bind the shaft. As others have suggested maybe some carburetor spray might loosen a binding shaft?? I did a test drive after posting this tutorial. Monitor the scan tool data relative to this circuit and wiggle test the wiring and connectors.
I am trying to get them to issue a recall, but if they don't I am tempted to get a lawyer and take them to court! What should i be looking for here guys? Yes Verify that there is good pin to terminal contact in the Short Runner Valve Solenoid Assembly and Powertrain Control Module connectors. I would unplug it and use some contact cleaner or brake cleaner on it and plug it back in. Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. The actuator does unfasten from the plastic manifold to see if the flow control valve shaft turns. I was able to turn the solenoid tab freely about 30 Degrees. The second was to replace the manifold and actuator as an assembly and do the reflash as the Crown suggested. Failure to follow these instructions may result in possible serious or fatal injury.
Armed with this info I went wide open on removing the intake manifold to see if the runner control valve was stuck open. YourMechanic offers certified mobile mechanics who will come to your home or office to diagnose and repair your vehicle. Do I need to do anything else as I try to turn this tab? I didn't remove the pin from the negative terminal of my battery. There is some spring preload so you have to align engine axle with manifold shaft first and then turn it counter-clockwise about 30 degrees to align engine screws. Whole fix took me 1. Spray a lot, turn spring as far as you can, release.

But I realized I should clear it when its in the 'on' position. I drove to service station and they told me intake manifold engine is dead. The feel of the car feels good when i'm accelerating as of now unless i'm just tryna convince myself. To do that, you'll want to inspect the wiring and connectors leading to the sensor. The tumbling action helps ensure that the fuel and air mix thoroughly and burn faster. So I'm gonna take it on the highway tonight to check it out under high rpms. Does this mean I have an internal manifold problem jammed or broken? Brought it into my mechanic and he looked it over.
I tried to clear it to pass emissions and the light cleared for about 2 hours. Thanks for the reply my friend. Have a question for the forum. The check engine light wasn't even on when the car died. I stopped at Autozone and had it checked with the scanner. I asked at the mechanics whether the intake manifold being stuck open was part of the ongoing problem or whether the Seafoam treatment might have caused some problems. Her check engine light came on a while back resulting in failed emissions testing and a ticket for no tag.
