Hello, I'm not sure if I'm posting this in the right spot or not I am a newbie here as well as posting, blogging and threads. Please tell me if I have posted in the wrong area as well as send it to the proper one
Have to get emissions done but, had engine lift on. Performed scan and I got a P1004 code(short runner valve) Cleared the codes and light went out but came back on...that was a Friday. On Sunday started my car and light was off went to a buddy's and called to make appointment to do Etest but, when I left the engine light was back on...very confused so after research there were three things I come up with-1-Seafoam-2-actuator/sensor on the front of the short runner side-3-change the whole manifold). Tried cheapest solution which was to us Seafoam to try and clean carbon build up cause l thought the valves were getting stuck. Also took actuator off(4 bolts) and cleaned the male end and sprayed some Seafoam inside the female end. This was all done the following Saturday morning...cleared codes and engine light was gone. I was told there has to be a certain amount of highway and street klm for everything to be ready to be checked and see if light comes back on. A different buddy said if the light is out go get Etest done. Went to get it done and light was still out. Talked to the guy at Etest place and said I was going to take a spin down the expressway and then come back, when I hopped back in my car and started it the engine light came on. The next day had some running around to do but, lol never looked to see if light was on or off. Later on that night I drove to a buddy's to see if he could help me out financially and looked at light and realized the engine light was out again. Went to friends and figured when I left and started my car the light would be on but it was still out...more confused!!! Woke up Monday and light was still out so went to do Etest. When I got there I had to wait about 15-20 min then when I started my car the light was back on...now very confused and frustrated!!! Went back to buddy's to scan and now I'm getting the P1004 code but it says description not available and P2078 code(intake manifold turning valve position sensor or switch circuit high). Is the turning position sensor what I refer to earlier as the actuator/sensor and is that why I'm getting the P2078 code?
Also I have a leak in my flex pipe on the exhaust with the catylitic converter connected to it...wold this have anything to do with the codes?
Thank You!
