Always nice to see how a normally functioning valve works. And, you verified the fact that the PCM is sending the signal. You clearly proved which component is bad, before throwing parts and money at the problem. Ladies, this is professional workflow, no guessing on the way to the parts store!

[@ttbini]

The detail of this video is amazing you’re a life saver for many stuck mazda owners

Awesome vid. I'm definitely changing out my SOLENOID, SOLENOID, SOLENOID, thanks to you man. P2004-P009.

[@themechanic6117]

Hope you get your problem fixed. Thanks for watching

[@kevinmccaskey8572]

Excellent tutorial dude. Had a brainfart and forgot what p200x codes were and this video came right up for the variable intake manifold runners. Incase you ever get similar faults on Audi and VW belt drive 2.0t this is also a common failure but instead of solenoids it uses an electric motor and linkage arm. Usually the motor but have also seen (rarely) the rotating valve piece snap at the elbow where the rod attaches to the manifold actuator. Cheers!

[@themechanic6117]

Thank you for the tip

[@djdx2]

If its hard to take off the hoses, use a flat head screwdriver under the hose and push it off, once it moves 1mm, you can pull it off with your hands. To put them back on the new manifold, i found that the hoses were loose (not sure if this is normal, but they were on tight before), so I cut 3-4mm off the end of the hoses (dont cut more as they are short to start with), then I put them on, and you will see that it wont go all the way in, so use abit of muscle, or use pliers to hold the hose and push it in properly.

[@susdagoose3825]

I was wondering how to get those tiny hoses off. Thank you

[@mkatalin09]

great tutorial, i have a P2009 and a P0404 on my mazda 6, i'll check those valves same way u did!

Great video and explanation. I am trying to find the exact part that you installed with both solenoids attached or where I can purchase each solenoid.

[@themechanic6117]

Check rockauto.com, that's where I got these from. 👍

[@cclare7]

I looked on rock auto and amazon. What is the exact name of these two solenoids?

[@themechanic6117]

I just found it on rockauto. It's called "intake manifold runner control valve /solenoid " it cost just as much to buy the set as it does to buy them individually lol so might as well get the set.

[@benjaminlagace7266]

I was hoping to see the vacuum hose connections because I believe one hose is missing on my car. So unfortunately I can't follow the original connections and I have no way of knowing if I'm putting the vacuum lines back correctly when I install the new purge valve.

Good that you got them!

[@Vegz0rz]

Just had the P2009 pop up in our Mazda 3 (2011). Im going to test the solenoids tomorrow. If they DONT click - and replacing them doesn’t fix the issue - is there another simple issue or is it a faulty PCM at that point?

[@yr6sport418]

Thanks for your information, but i Already buy 2 solenoid valve Anyway for my Mazda 8, I thought this common problem for Mazda, in my Scanner P0661. Hahaha...

[@funnylilirishdude]

So I don't have those solenoids in my 04 2.3 Mazda 3, I do have a large round solenoid right by where the two should be.

[@themechanic6117]

That might serve the same purpose but I'm not 100% about that.youll have to do your own research

[@Techo1329]

If anyone else is wondering about the SP23 engine, instead of the long hose running from the manifold around the side of the engine and then splitting out to the bracket mounted solenoids as per this video, the 2.3L solenoids are mounted at the front on the manifold itself. They are a different part number than the 2.0L version.

[@jeffjoseph4995]

Hello bro i really appreciate ur video.I have a mazda 3 2010 that has this issue of solenoid .My mechanic doesn't know how to resolve this for me . Instead of making those test he wants just to erase it . Please can you tell where can i buy the two new solenoids.

[@themechanic6117]

He can erase them all day and the codes will keep coming back. I got them from rockauto.com

[@juarezlevi]

P2004 are both or just the brown selenoid on my mazda 2010 cx7

[@rubenbest1]

I am wondering the same thing. Are both sensors the same?

[@j-ljuarezc.3452]

EXCELLENT, THANKYOU!!

[@Keolamation]

If this doesn't fix the issue for these codes what's the next step?

[@ajayraje4924]

Hi! When I look for a solenoid online for a 2003 Mazda protege it shows part number 911-707 but it’s the solenoid individually and not with the plate as you have shown here. Why is that?

[@joserubio7638]

So I own a 2003 Mazda Protege 5 and I have a hard time starting up properly my car in the morning it gave me a code p0660 which is the intake manifold tuning valve do you consider me replacing both solenoids or just one cause I think it's the same for the Mazda 3 Let me know your opinion/ feedback

[@mrcederboom1]

I have a question about the colours of the solenoids, do they matter ?....i see brown and black, ive found one where their both black. Does it matter, or not at all ??

[@edwardthayer9386]

Hello, i replaced this and it fixed the p2009 code but now i have a p2006 code. Please help in any way. I hate throwing parts at cars but im really stumped on this on. Any help will be greatly appreciated. I have a 2007 Mazda 3 2.3 non turbo.

Do these solenoid valves do the same work? Me used the resistance test and it works showing 0.05 ohms

[@125sm3]

[@themechanic6117]

Thank you

[@ernestorivera3517]

Are those two solenoids the same, or they have different part numbers and can you provide the part number for each.

[@themechanic6117]

They looked the same to me. Sorry I don't have part numbers. If I remember correctly I found them on rockauto

[@eksnay]

Will this cause rough idle?

[@increaseknowledge2804]

My question is can this code cause the vehicle to not drive

[@philh9238]

on my scanner im looking at the intake manifold runner control valve pid and it always reads on. is there a position position sensor in this system that tells the system its on? im figuring that its supposed to read off until about 2500-3000 rpm

[@themechanic6117]

I'm not sure if it's supposed to stay in the on or off position . When I was filming this I didn't look at the pid while the car is running. After the solenoids the vacuum hose goes down to a vacuum controlled actuator that sits under the throttle body. That actuator has a connector on it and I believe that's where the system reads what position the actuator is in. I pulled a vacuum on my actuator to make sure it can hold vacuum and wasn't busted which it did check out to be ok.

[@guillermoortiz6104]

Hello. I was just wondering if the piece you replaced is the same thing as the single one, except it’s two

[@themechanic6117]

Yes its the same

[@crawford323]

Which is positive or negative leads on the solenoids?

[@djdx2]

closer to you is negative

[@nemocon2707]

Tengo un código p2004 pero ya revise el solenoide como lo indica y está bueno, revise que también le llega corriente y también tiene corriente pero la señal del pcm creo que es la que está mal y no se cómo arreglar eso es como si tuviera corto por qué se calienta el solenoide

[@nemocon2707]

También vi que el otro solenoide que trabaja bien y no tiene código de error, en el cable que envía la señal el computador, verifique que la señal que envía tiene una carga de 13voltios y en el solenoide que está fallando solo envía 0.45 voltios

[@JMontP]

I have the same issue. Would you happen to know which of those two solenoids gives the p2004 code?

[@themechanic6117]

Not sure but it's very easy to test both and find out which is bad

[@rogerw.92]

Would a dead solenoid keep your car from starting? I am throwing a p2004 code and the car cranks but won't kick over???

[@themechanic6117]

I dont think so. Just because you have that code doesnt mean something else isnt wrong. Check the intake runner control valve. Everything is plastic and they do break. That could cause a car to not start ...I think

[@Lavaiie]

Roger , did you ever fix it? I got a dead one too and the car not starting

[@timothynelson7645]

Where did you buy the actual new part? I cant find what its called or where to buy it

Check for prices on rockauto

[@Jacob1986]

I keep getting p2009 on my mazda but i checked both solenoids . They do click but i feel one is more faint . I ordered a new one just in case. I understand p2009 is the smaller one. When you said if its clicking it still may be busted what did you mean by that?

[@themechanic6117]

Just because they click doesn't mean they open. Its why I used a vacuum gauge on them

[@Jacob1986]

The mech a nic cool thanks , i just looked thorough my service manual . It says I can take it out and examine the airflow based on voltage applied to it and see what it does. There are two criteria it has to meet to pass the test. They call it the variable tumbler valve

[@themechanic6117]

Did you try to diagnose your problem or you just changed the solenoids because i changed them in this video? There are other things that can cause that code

[@RoscketTasartir]

I got the same P2004 and P2009 code. However, it was not due to a bad solenoid(s). It was the vacuum tubes being disconnected! Apparently, the last mechanic that overhauled my engines injection system forgot to reconnect the vacuum tubes after putting it back together.

[@themechanic6117]

Nice easy fix 👍

Its called a vapor canister purge valve .you can find them on rock auto

[@juanjosh4299]

The mech a nic so I did change these solenoids just as you did in the video and had no success, went back to square one where it all started... So long story short I removed the intake manifold to replace some coolant lines, put everything back together and i had NO POWER OR ACCELERATION after 3500rpm. It sucked. After a week of diagnosing I just fixed it. So, the metal rod that goes to the blades inside the intake, was, I guess you could say closed or to a point it won’t spin the way it needs to. When I figured that out I was able to spin it the opposite way, that way the air pump it connects to can pump correctly. Once I put it back together and I felt the pump was free, I just knew it that fixed it. Went for a test drive and the Mazda is back on full power. Thanks for this video it’s great and really help me pin point my issue. Long comment I know but if you got this far check out my channel! The Mazda is there. Will be making more and more videos! If you read this all thank you man I appreciate it. Hope you are staying safe! 😎
