P2007Intake Manifold Runner Control Stuck Closed (Bank 2)
- Generic OBD-II code · Powertrain
- Turns on the check-engine light
- Matters for the ITP
- Can trigger limp mode
- Needs a drive cycle to confirm a fix
- How the car detects it
- P2007 reports that the runner or tumble flaps of bank 2 have not opened although the ECM asked for it. Because closed flaps narrow the intake path, the fault shows up mainly as missing power near the top of the rev range. On the 2013 Audi 3.0 TFSI (A6, A7, S4, S5, Q5, Q7) a torn diaphragm in one vacuum actuator caused P2006 or P2007; once the vacuum lines pass a leak test, Audi swaps the actuators on both banks to avoid a repeat visit. Audi's 4.0 TFSI bulletin also lists P2007, there with water in the potentiometer. Subaru counts it among tumble valve faults on Forester Turbo and WRX (corroded shaft, now stainless) and on Impreza and Crosstrek, where grease escaping from the actuator makes the valve erratic. Ford checks it like the bank 1 code: four failed events after coolant reaches 40 °F. Compare with P2005, the stuck-open case.
