This has a double intake manifold with control actuators at the base of the manifold most are vacuum controlled the computer monitors these actuators positions. #1 locate passenger actuator and lever position with engine off put a vacuum hose on it and suck on hose and watch arm lever it should move then place tongue against hose it should hold that position if it does not actuator is bad if it does the the control solenoid is at fault or no engine vacuum to solenoid.

SOURCE: very rough idle, diagnostic reads

I had this problem also, I had all the coils checked and 2 of them were bad. The Mechanic that fixed it said I should replace all the spark plug boots and the gaskets because as they wear, they leak oil into where the spark plugs are and do two things, first the oil shorts out the coils, and secondly the oil deteriorates the boots until they no longer insulate, and that is why you get misfire and shaking. I had this done about 8 months ago and my 02 LSE has been running like a charm ever since.

Every car different, call an auto rescue or towing company, the trucks are usually equiped with slim jims, that can be used to gain access to your vehicle.

Hope this helps.

SOURCE: rough idle and engine light is on my 2003 aviator 4.6 engine

If there is an Auto Zone around your area, have the truck scanned for the DTC codes which is causing your idle problem. There are to many things that can cause your trucks idle to be rough. Once you have it scanned, we can address the issue and have your truck running 100% again. Auto Zone scan free of charge and can give you the step by step instructions to repairing and replacing the parts needed. Good luck and keep me posted, be glad to help.

SOURCE: 1997 lincoln town car 4.6 with a p0430 fault code

I will make an assumption here, we know what the root word means. This code was extracted from the computer by? What this is telling you one of 2 things: The Bank 2 oxygen sensor down stream of the catalytic converter (there are 2 converters, one for each bank of cylinders on the 4.6ltr engine) is bad and/or that the Bank 2 catalytic converter is no longer doing the job it was designed to do. Simply, Catalysts wear out. They are good for approx 100,000 miles (as required by Federal Law). Again, I assume that the reason the intake manifold was replaced was because it had a crack in one, or more, of the runners? (part that feeds the head of a manifold). It may have taken a while to find this as being the cause of why the car running incorrectly, maybe rough. This means, that during the time the car was being driven with the problem, the amount of unburned, or not within spec exhaust gases, coming off the side of the engine affected by the intake issue was higher than normal. This out of balance level of exhaust gases were being dumped into the converter on that side of the engine, thus causing the converter to have to run hotter, work harder, or even at the time the gas was being processed through, causing deposits to be formed in the converter, thus shortening it's life span. The Bank 1 side of the engine, apparently, did not have the issue and it's catalytic converter's life was not affected. I hope this makes sense to you.

2008 Chevy Uplander base van. How to fix (unstick valve) on it, error code P2070 open valve.

Question edited for clarity.
Question moved to model category.

It is the intake manifold tuning valve that is stuck and fortunately not the Inlet valve itself.

How can I fix error code P0661 in Mazda Premacy 2010?

This code is an issue with the air intake system on the engine. The intake manifold has a set of valves in it that open and close to adjust performance and fuel consumption levels. The error code shows a problem with the sensor that operates this system. You might need to get this checked by a Good Mechanic.

I have a 2007 Mecury Mountaineer. I have an engine code (P-2006) Can you please tell what this code mean. Thank you.

P2006 = Intake manifold runner control stuck closed, Bank 1.
There is a set of 'choke' valves built into the intake manifold on the vehicle.
They are sticking closed, affecting the fuel to air mixture getting to the engine. The switches/solenoids may have failed so the will need to be tested or replaced.

I have a Pontiac G6 v6 3.9 .. I have a code p2078 twice.. do I have to change the intake manifold tuning valve sensor or what?

What year is it ?
DTC P2078: Intake Manifold Tuning (IMT) Valve Position Sensor Circuit High Voltage
Associated with this code or any coded is a diagnostic flow chart ,for testing of the electrical circuit's for the position sensor . If you don't know that ,an know how to test electrical circuit's ,your best bet , take it to a qualified repair . Rather then guessing an just replacing parts .

Circuit/System Description
An intake manifold tuning (IMT) valve is used to change the intake manifold plenum configuration. When the IMT valve is open, the intake manifold is configured to one large plenum. When the IMT valve is closed, the intake manifold is configured to 2 smaller plenums. The IMT valve improves engine performance at low and high engine speeds depending on the engine load. The IMT valve assembly consists of the following:
• A tuning valve
• A microprocessor
• An electric motor
• A hall-effect sensor
• An ignition voltage circuit
• A ground circuit
• An IMT valve control circuit
• An IMT valve signal circuit

P2078
The engine control module detects an open in the IMT valve ground or a continuous short to voltage in either the IMT valve signal circuit or the sensor. This diagnostic runs continuous when the conditions for running are met.
Test the electrical circuit's !!!!!!! you would need a wiring diagram

Circuit/System Testing
Ignition OFF, disconnect the IMT valve harness connector at the IMT valve.
Test for less than 1 ohm of resistance between the IMT valve ground circuit terminal B and ground.
? If greater than the specified value, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the IMT valve ignition 1 voltage circuit terminal A and ground.
? If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the IMT valve ignition 1 voltage circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal and the fuse for the IMT valve ignition 1 voltage circuit is open, test or replace the IMT valve.
Connect a test lamp between the IMT valve control circuit terminal C and the IMT valve ignition 1 voltage circuit terminal A.
Command the IMT valve ON and OFF with a scan tool. The test lamp should turn ON and OFF when changing between the commanded states.
? If the test lamp is always ON, test the IMT valve control circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the engine control module.
? If the test lamp is always OFF, test the IMT valve control circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the engine control module.
Ignition ON, test for 4-6 volts between the IMT valve signal circuit terminal D and ground.
? If less than the specified range, test the IMT valve signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the engine control module.
? If greater than the specified range, test the IMT valve signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the engine control module.
Install a 3A fused jumper wire between the IMT valve signal circuit terminal D and ground. Verify the scan tool IMT valve Feedback parameter transitions from 0-100 percent.
? If parameter does not change, test the IMT valve signal circuit for short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the engine control module.
If all circuits test normal, test or replace the IMT valve.

Code PO660 has come up. How do you fix it

code p 0660 refers to intake manifold tuning valve ,bank 1--circuit open===causes --wiring--intake manifold tuning valve
The fix will be a replace valve
the problem is to find it's location but if you talk with Mazda spares or service department , they should show you where it is located
a workshop manual would be a help as well

Pressure Control Solenoid C - Coe P1078

06 CR-V
when you hit the dear, things can break. what's surprising there?
id get a car safety inspection, road worthy ness checks.....really.
google is not your friend here, not for P1 codes. (unless very careful)
and the P1078 code only works on Hondas.
Not only that autozonded scans may show the wrong code.
why? because their scan tool is junk, ! (SSDD)
the FSM covers that 100% read that. for all the tests.

ill pretend the scan tool is not junk and reads Honda's correctly.]

P1 codes are factory codes, and reading ford, or chev or ? on that will
all be lies. P1078 is:
DTC P1078:
Intake Manifold Tuning (IMT) System Malfunction (High rpm) Stuck
Long.

DTC P1078:
Intake Manifold Tuning (IMT) Syst
em Malfunction (High rpm) Stuck
Long
P1078-0570
General Description
The intake manifold tuning (IMT) valve position sensor is mounted on the diaphragm valve shaft to detect a malfunction in the IMT valve.
The engine control module (ECM) / powertrain control module (PCM)
checks both the IMT solenoid valve command and the IMT valve position sensor output.
If the IMT valve position sensor output is Short (short runners) while the IMT solenoid valve is OFF, a malfunction (IMT remains Short / closed ) is detected and a DTC is stored


(what does this mean)
bar stool answer.
the deer hit my car.
the vacuum line fell of the IMT VSV and now the slave sensor fails.
there are 3 parts to the VSV (PCM command) sends vacuum
to the slave , then slave rod moves, the sensor in the slave
(readback pot) shows that it did move correctly
yours is stuck long.
