If its hard to take off the hoses, use a flat head screwdriver under the hose and push it off, once it moves 1mm, you can pull it off with your hands. To put them back on the new manifold, i found that the hoses were loose (not sure if this is normal, but they were on tight before), so I cut 3-4mm off the end of the hoses (dont cut more as they are short to start with), then I put them on, and you will see that it wont go all the way in, so use abit of muscle, or use pliers to hold the hose and push it in properly.
P2177 Code, check out video "ford/Mazda 3 2.0 p2177" by Jabo the Mechanic. It was the brown connector solenoid in that video that fixed p2177, which I know you swapped, but he shows how to check the valves that the solenoids actuates, black connector (intake manifold control runner) and brown connector (intake manifold tuning valve) using a vacuum pump. So the brown solenoid in your video was good, but the valve it controls might be stuck/bad. Other than that everything I have researched says to clean the MAF or replace, check for trash in vacuum lines, PCV hose connections to the intake manifold, clogged injectors and of course vacuum leaks. The only instance I can find of smoke test coming out of the transmission bell housing is for a bad engine rear main seal, but that is usually accompanied by an oil leak. I hope this helps, because your videos have helped me.

Thank you for the video. Very helpful
Interesting; I am very intrigued by the smoke test we discussed Thursday. Good Luck

Good luck with finding what the other codes are telling you thumbs up 👍
Thanks
I got p2009 and noticed bad gas mileage. Can replacing the solenoid fix that or is it with the vacuum line leak?
Our main stores charge about $300 aud for these parts...do you believe the quality from Amazon is good enough?
I think so.
🙋🏼♂️boa noite irmão 👍🏻🇧🇷
Obrigado meu amigo.
Is that a 10-12 awg spade female connector you used ?
Yes.
How u call those hoses
How did you test the solenoid what kind of wire
Just standard wire. Nothing special.
What is the part # on that part
hi barry cool show
