P2007 is an OBD-II diagnostic trouble code meaning “Intake Manifold Runner Control Stuck Closed (Bank 2).” This generic powertrain code sets when the PCM detects that the intake manifold runner control (IMRC) for engine bank 2 is stuck in the closed position. The IMRC uses movable flaps/runners to vary intake air velocity for optimal performance and efficiency across the RPM range, so a stuck-closed runner means the system cannot open the flaps as commanded. Bank 2 is the cylinder bank that does not contain cylinder #1. This code is most commonly reported on 2007-2018 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter (OM642 3.0L V6 (NCV3/W906)), with repair costs ranging from $50 to $900.
