What is the Intake Manifold Runner Control all about?

Your engine needs air in order to combust fuel, and varying amounts depending on the speed and driving condition. Older cars relied on nothing more than a basic air intake that pulled fresh air in through the filter and delivered it to the intake manifold. However, newer cars have the means of adjusting the flow of air through the intake in relation to driving conditions. These vehicles are equipped with intake manifold runner control modules, which are vacuum solenoids that operate a butterfly valve in the intake. During slower driving when the need for air is less, the butterfly stays closed. However, in aggressive driving situations, the butterfly opens and increases the amount of air sent to the intake. The computer compensates for this by adjusting the fuel mixture, and the result is an increase in performance.

Keep in mind:

  • The intake manifold runner control is not inspected during normal maintenance.
  • Both open and closed positions can cause damage to the engine.

How it's done:

  • The engine trim cover is removed from the top of the engine
  • The defective intake manifold runner control is removed
  • The new intake manifold runner control is installed
  • The engine trim covers are reinstalled
  • The engine is scanned and tested for proper operation

Our recommendation:

If the butterfly fails to open or close (sticks in one position or the other), the engine can sustain damage through either lean or rich running conditions. We recommend having the condition diagnosed by one of our expert mechanics.

What common symptoms indicate you may need to replace the Intake Manifold Runner Control?

  • Reduced engine performance output
  • Increased fuel consumption
  • Check Engine light is on

How important is this service?

Considering the fact that a malfunctioning intake manifold runner control could cause both lean and rich operation, it’s important to have the controller’s operation checked. This will require our expert mechanics to retrieve the diagnostic codes via the OBDII connector and test the controller for operation. We recommend having this service performed immediately.

Dodge Caravan V6-3.3L - Window Regulator Replacement (Driver Side Front) - Shawnee Mission, Kansas
Andrew is knowledgeable about cars! He fixed my car door window, aka Window "regulator" quickly, showing me the parts that had snapped off. He phoned in advance to introduce himself and answered about 15 questions while he drove to my home to perform the work. Andrew had the parts with him--from a reputable vendor. I will request him personally in the future for everything they can do in the driveway--without a lift. This service, YourMechanic.com is the wave of the future. Remarkably more convenient--at home or work. Andrew is honest--and loyal--does not try to move new customers off platform. And I love it when someone knows their limits...and admits it! At the end of the one hour service (30 minutes faster than predicted) he went across the street to briefly see my neighbor's car windows. And when he saw the issue with sunblock film, he said, "I've done it but I'm not good at that--so I would not take that job." Price? Andrew and YourMechanic beat two other bids, and beat it "bigly"! They charged $171, compared to the Dodge dealer that quoted $450! And my usual oil change place refused to say, wanted me to get a ride to drop off my Caravan the night before, and wonder, and then have to get another ride back to collect the car IF they quoted a price I would pay. So this is definitely worth checking out. You can ask questions and further describe the funny noises or symptoms up front. And as long as you do that within 3 hours of booking (with your credit card), you may cancel without a $30 penalty. That gave me time to check some other prices.
