My car’s CEL came on - codes were P2006 and P2007. Intake manifold runner stuck closed control bank 1 and 2. So I googled and read some stories of guys with that code who went to the dealer and got new intake manifolds on the dealers advice. Also read about some simple vacuum leaks.
So my guy pulled the manifold:

And there was the vacuum leak:

Fairly annoying that we’re at a couple of hours labour for a $5 part replacement but hey I said to him lets have a look at the carbon buildup now that it’s apart:

Things looked like you’d expect for 128,000km. So I said how much for a walnut blast while the intake is off? He waffled for a sec then said a hundred and fifty bucks. Done!
Really looking forward to seeing if I can feel a difference tomorrow…
