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.

Daniel is genuine, knowledgeable, and personable. He did the job in a timely manner, while keeping up good conversation, and even teaching me a few things along the way. He saved me some money, by not charging me for things that I didn't need, unlike some mechanic who try and milk every cent out of you. The next day the check light engine came on, in regards to the job that was done prior, and he was more than happy to own up and come back to solve the issue, free of charge. Danny will be my mechanic for the length of time that I remain in San Diego. I will not even bother going anywhere else because Danny is my go to. I recommend him to everyone.

Mercedes-Benz CLK350 V6-3.5L - Intake Manifold Runner Control - Katy, Texas
Ben was very prompt and very nice. My car was idling rough and had random misfire codes. He took pictures of the codes on my car prior to repair (12 codes) and after repair (3) as well as pictures of the part he repaired. He said I had no vacuum leaks but after I had the codes checked again later, I still have the same 12 codes. He suggested that I have 2 spark plugs replaced and clean the throttle body. After having this done the car still has 12 codes and idles very rough. Ben seems like a very good mechanic, so maybe my car just stumped him. I dunno...
