Abstract

Error code P2077 indicates that the engine control module (ECM) has detected a low or sluggish response from the intake manifold tuning control solenoid or the intake manifold runner control circuit. This often results in reduced engine performance, poor fuel economy, and sometimes a rough idle. The problem is typically caused by a faulty tuning solenoid, vacuum leaks, carbon buildup, or wiring issues.
