P2007 on Mercedes-Benz
Intake Manifold Runner Control Stuck Closed (Bank 2)
P2007 on Mercedes-Benz vehicles indicates intake manifold runner control stuck closed (bank 2). Au7o has documented this code across 1 Mercedes-Benz model — most commonly on Sprinter. 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. Typical repair costs on Mercedes-Benz range from $50 to $900, depending on the specific model and root cause.
Common Causes of P2007
- •Failed or seized intake manifold runner control actuator/solenoid
- •Carbon buildup or sticking/binding intake runner flaps or linkage
- •Broken, disconnected, or stuck IMRC vacuum/mechanical linkage
- •Wiring or connector faults (open, short, corrosion) in the IMRC circuit
- •Faulty intake manifold runner position sensor
- •Defective intake manifold (warped/broken runners) or, rarely, a faulty PCM

- Intake Manifold Swirl Flap Linkage Breakage (P2015)2007-2018
The OM642 V6 intake manifolds use plastic swirl/runner flaps driven by a small actuator through a plastic connecting linkage. Oil mist and heat make the plastic linkage and pivots brittle; they crack and break, leaving the flaps stuck and triggering P2015 (and runner-control codes). A failed swirl-flap motor (often from an oil leak into the actuator) produces the same fault. The result is rough idle, power loss, a lit engine light and limp mode.

What does P2007 mean on Mercedes-Benz?▼
P2007 stands for "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. On Mercedes-Benz specifically, this code is documented across 1 model.
What causes P2007 on Mercedes-Benz vehicles?▼
Common causes on Mercedes-Benz: Failed or seized intake manifold runner control actuator/solenoid, Carbon buildup or sticking/binding intake runner flaps or linkage, Broken, disconnected, or stuck IMRC vacuum/mechanical linkage, Wiring or connector faults (open, short, corrosion) in the IMRC circuit, Faulty intake manifold runner position sensor. Specific causes vary by model and year — see the per-model sections below.
How much does it cost to fix P2007 on a Mercedes-Benz?▼
