Thanks, man! Have the same issue on a 2016 Jeep Compass. Couldn’t get the part through any of my local shops. The Rock Auto tip was helpful. Video is really clear.

[@JimmyCornPop]

Got the same dreaded P2004 code on my Compass. Fortunately it is covered by warranty, so it's the dealer's problem to change the cheesy, goofy thing out. At least I know what to look for when they repair it - because they will probably forget to reconnect a harness or clamp. Great video! Thanks

[@mikalabrennan6325]

Just found your channel - in between laughing out loud with the comments - definitely learned a bunch. 2009 Jeep Compass - P2004 code.....replaced the IMRC yesterday - engine light is still on...I need to take somewhere and clear the codes. May have to do the whole thing. Getting ready to buy a new car and just didn't want to have the 'check engine' light on when I try to trade this in for like a dollar....maybe $5 if I'm lucky! ;) Appreciate the video - very clear to follow - thank you!

Absolutely love your video. Ended up repairing manifold instead of buying new. Thanks mate 👍👍👍👍

[@Matthew-ju3nk]

I have recently come across your channel and I greatly appreciate your content. Your attention to the details (e.g. comment on the type and location of each ‘child-proof’ connector and what a righteous PITA they can be) is very useful. It is always the little things that no service manual ever warns you about that seem to make a job turn into a cluster !$&@! from hell. Your ongoing commentary has proven to be absolutely lifesaving to me. And I particularly enjoy the delightfully subtitle way that you wrap up your video sessions. Simple and straight to the point! I am sorry to say that I own a keep patriot but with your help I may actually be able to keep it on the toad! Tnx !

Well a new part will last a lot longer that cleaning out the old one - Good Job

[@rustybritches6747]

I doubt it this is actually a really common problem with these vehicles OEM is way better than the cheap Chinese made after market bullshit! I would have taken the intake off cleaned it all out and bought a new intake runner valve! Which is actually my plan for Saturday!

[@user-BrendaUSAMA]

I had to have this repair done on my 2016 Patriot, local mechanics that I frequent gave me a quote of $1k all in (Massachusetts), part was on back order 4 weeks, finally gets repaired, they charge me $1500., claim repair should have been 3 hours labor, but due to dirt rust, 6 of the intake bolts were rusted and broke on them, claim it was nightmare repair job, took total 9 hours. (I had watched this video prior to my repair being done.). I said 9 hours to repair?, I told them I found that hard to believe, that they lost a customer. I’ve only owned vehicle for a couple months. Though I like the vehicle, think I should probably sell.

[@alexmeldrum8151]

It might have been broken, but I have had at least a dozen of these cars in the shop and this problem was usually caused by the ground wire on the right frame rail behind the headlight.

[@RustBeltAuto]

I have heard that. Thanks!

[@natestapp5573]

What do you do? Just disconnect the ground wire from the frame, clean and reinstall?

[@alexmeldrum8151]

@@natestapp5573 The clamp on the eye of that ground wraps around the wire casing, so it all looks good at first glance.. The problem is the wire itself corrodes inside the casing, and is not touching the eye. The only way to fix it is disconnect, strip the wire back to a clean spot and put on a new eye connector. If you have to, separate the wires and use a few connectors instead of one. You might even need to add some extra wire just to reach the ground point. I've seen some of those grounds corrode 2 inches up. It's a really crappy design.

[@natestapp5573]

@@alexmeldrum8151 thank you so much....I wish I could post a picture here so I could be absolutely sure we're talking about the same ground.....

Hi, I have p2004 ctrl stuck for bank 1 - p2017 pos sens/switch circ hi bank 1. I have changed the actuator and I have also replaced the manifold and still cannot get rid of the same codes. Could it be the switch has no power to it or does it need to be re-programmed by a jeep dealership? Please help its breaking me

[@gerardhallaren6067]

Great video, thank you -- clear and knowledgeable instructions. The child-proof connector instructions are most valuable to me. I tend to work on Mitsubishis and BMWs which use very different connectors. Have you thought about doing a viddie about connectors all by itself. maybe by manufacturer? Thanks again.

[@RustBeltAuto]

I'm trying to quit.

[@raisin39]

You have patience and made a good video. Someone made a comment about ground issue could that have been the problem. I had that manifold box changed but the code won't clear it's asking for the censor plug. I bought one it's a small plug. A mechanic said it's located in a difficult position. Don't know why they make stuff like this. Well we know. $$

[@RustBeltAuto]

The job i did is fixed, and did not need to deal with that ground issue. If I do another one of these, The ground, and manifold will be done as the same job.

[@natestapp5573]

What all would you do if you were going to work on the ground too? I see it on the right frame rail behind the headlight, but all I can think to do is unbolt it, wire brush it to clean it, and tighten back up.....Not sure what else to do?

Thanks for a great video. I had the same problem- code 2004, replaced the controller- check engine light came back on with code 2017. Don't think I'll try the whole manifold myself. But it's good to have the knowledge when I take it to a garage. Where did you find a Mopar part? I haven't been able to locate one online.

[@libertarianredpilled5932]

i've read that cleaning the manifold does work to clear these codes. i too replaced the solenoid and its come back after a few weeks. i wonder if i tossed a good original part and kept the junk dorman part thats maybe now failed. Im assuming the best way to clean the manifold would be to remove, dissasemble, clean, reassemble... but would some kind of intake cleaner work well enough?

[@4X4JEEPMODS]

The engine is pretty gnarly before I do anything like that I usually make a trip to the car wash 5 minutes there getting rid of all that crime and grit from everywhere it makes a big difference 😉👍

[@spcpitts]

The easiest way to get that intake out is with a medium to large size excavator. If you don't have access to an excavator you can always just drive into a tree or power pole at about 80mph

I had the same issue. It turned out to be a bad ground. it is ground 110 on passenger side of engine compartment under the overflow tank. Used Deoxit on the ground after I loosened the nut on the ground stud. Have hqd no issues since. Went a head and did all the ground connectors. They were all a green snot mess of corrosion. After two control solenoids and a manifold, turned out it was just a bad ground issue

I just bought a 2009 Avenger, got the P2004 code. Check engine light just came on with the gas cap notification. The gas cap looks fine and it looks clean actually. It says the Intake manifold runner control is stuck open. Trisha is going to get her mechanic cap on and get on it. Definitely needs an oil change too. I will let yawl know what happens. And I hope I can work those cheesy childproof connectors.

So fuel doesn't spray in your eyes. For any car, pull your fuel pump fuse and start the car a few times till it doesn't run. That way the pressure will be relieved.

[@montydaniels1054]

@Rust Belt Auto. Great video, glad I watched it. Hey my 2010 Patriot was popping out of ''Drive'' all the time. When you pulled the ''Air Box'' off, the transmission Shifter Cable can be adjusted right there at the trans end of the cable. The hole is elongated for adjustments. I adjusted mine out about 1/4 inch. I was ready to spend $100 on a new one too. But a guy read one of my KZbin comments and told me about the adjustment. Now a question I do have is the 4WD! warning light comes on every time after the vehicle is started and drives over 1 mile. Have you ever heard of this before. Been looking for the fix but there's nothing on KZbin about it, other than the 2 most likely wiring issues which have been checked out.

[@RustBeltAuto]

It means the actuator is not opening. There is a ground for the thing somewhere, people have issues with sometimes, other than that, I would try to manually open it with a dedicated scan tool, to see if it is working properly. That is the best advice I can give you.

[@user-ct1lf3hf1v]

Do you think putting in Techron fuel additive into the gas can help clean the intake manifold flaps and such?

[@RustBeltAuto]

As far as thinking goes, I'm trying to quit. Most manufacturers tell you to not do induction cleaning on intakes with plastic parts. Fuel additives go through your injectors. That's like the last 1/2" or less of your intake.

[@bentibbitt7707]

"As far as thinking goes, I'm trying to quit"🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@user-ct1lf3hf1v]

I've learned a lot since posting my original comment. Remember to keep your catalytic converter clean with Cataclean once every year or so before you gotta replace it like I have had to. Even after changing spark plugs, engine air filter, transmission fluid/filters, cleaning throttle body, and PCV cleaning this engine is still too small to accelerate on an entering highway ramp quickly enough

[@alejandrorodriguez9471]

Does anybody know if a faulty fuel pump would cause the p2004 and p2017 codes to keep coming up? seems no matter how many times I get the manifold replaced the codes come back in a matter of weeks and sometimes even months.
