P2007 on Subaru
Intake Manifold Runner Control Stuck Closed (Bank 2)
P2007 on Subaru vehicles indicates intake manifold runner control stuck closed (bank 2). Au7o has documented this code across 1 Subaru model — most commonly on WRX. 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 Subaru range from $350 to $1,200, 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

- Tumble Generator Valve (TGV) Shaft Seizure or Actuator Failure Setting P2004-P2007 and Forcing Limp Mode2008-2021
Turbo WRX intake manifolds carry tumble generator valves — butterfly plates in each runner driven by a small electric actuator with a position sensor. The original valve shaft material corrodes from EGR/condensation and binds, or the actuator motor/sensor fails, and the ECU logs TGV stuck-open/stuck-closed codes (P2004-P2007, sometimes P2016/P2017 position sensor codes). The car goes into a reduced-power mode. Subaru acknowledged the shaft corrosion in TSB 02-182-19 and revised the shaft material. It affects both the EJ255 (2008-2014) and FA20DIT (2015-2021) WRX, with separate part numbers per engine.

What does P2007 mean on Subaru?▼
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 Subaru specifically, this code is documented across 1 model.
What causes P2007 on Subaru vehicles?▼
Common causes on Subaru: 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 Subaru?▼
Repair costs on Subaru range from $350 to $1,200, depending on the specific model and root cause.
