Have to say this video walked me through changing out my intake manifold on my daughters 2008 Sebring. Went relatively sooth. Had more trouble with the electrical connectors than anything. Thank you for this information, saved me a lot of money.
Ki Ki Awesome. Glad it all went well. The locks on the connectors can be tight and hard to release for sure. Appreciate you commenting and make sure to subscribe
Why did you change it? What problem did you have?
I love how professional people make things look easy. Great job.
I'm having to do an engine swap on a 2013 avenger that I just bought. Every bit of help like this is appreciated.
Always happy to help out anyway that I can. Appreciate the comment and make sure to subscribe
Hows the swap going?
@@wesleyboelter9636 I have finished changing out the engine. Went with a long block from Dodge. The refit of parts was fairly straightforward. Installment was a little tricky by having to tilt the engine for the transmission bolt up. Orher than that, finding bolts and replacement parts was the most challenging. With the worldwide lockdown going on for a year plus, parts are getting harder to get.
Once everything was put together, the initial start up was uneventful.
I've done some other work as well. I replaced the struts, tires, and had wheels aligned. On the AC, I bumped the charge a few pounds since the pressures were on the low side. I also replaced the three door actuators under the dash.
I've put about two hundred miles on the vehicle now. It is driving well. The engine is performing better as I get more milage on it. It still needs some freeway miles on it to tune the engine with the control module. I may be able to do that this week. It just depends on what comes along.
I dont know much about cars besides changing a tire and oil changes. This video is helping me work through this project alone. Glad i found it
Thanks for stopping by and for finding the channel. Its much appreciated. Make sure to subscribe.
@@MotorCityMechanic I just completed this job yesterday and my car isn't running properly. The code reader is still coming up with a p2004 code. is there some sort of computer reset I need to do with the new manifoldy thing installed?
These two videos were the best. I had to use this video to get easily to the oil pressure sensor. Turned out that I was also in need of changing the manifold gasket. I went ahead and also changed the o-rings as motorcitymechanic suggested. It was all a success
Awesome.....I have never had to replace the oil pressure sensor but I have been told recently that its a bit of a pain. Thanks for the info and for watching. Make sure to subscribe!
You are GREAT! You would make a great teacher, You explain things so well. You save me a lot of time.
+David Lawhon Thanks David for the kind words and for taking the time to comment and watch the video. Glad to hear that it comes across in the video. Make sure to subscribe if you haven't already
Looks exactly like the replacement on a 2009 Chrysler Sebring that is throwing a P2004 code. This video is awesome, and we're going to follow it when we do the replacement. Thanks for your excellent work!
+Jeff_Engineer Thanks Jeff for checked the video out. Follow the steps and you shouldn’t have any issues. Don’t forget to subscribe!
Mines a 2009 journey, but this my man is one of the most detailed instructables I've watched... Well done.
Now lets hope this oil pressure sensor fixes my cascading fault issue.
Yay....
😀 Thank you very much, your video was very helpful in the step by step process for me to change my manifold on my 09 Avenger you are awesome!!
That was amazing!! I have 2009 Journey 2.4 and it has the same engine, I have intake manifold code showing up and Idk what’s going on so I’m going to change the gasket tomorrow! Thank you for this video!
Your welcome. Thanks for finding the video and for the comment. Make sure to subscribe.
As he shows using a magnet on the 5 bolts. Yes!! If you don't have a magnet. Go get one!!! I'm 51 and having a magnet prevented many headaches over the years.
Thankss bro i run a chrysler sebring touring 09 2.4l this was perfect best information ive seen used. You gave good detail from bolt size down to locations and procedures. Im subscribing any chrysler 2.4l videos i want to see. I know chrysler 200 dodge avenger and sebrings have the exact same engine layout and components its just to hard to find a video of anyone working on them. Thanks again man ill be fixing my problem next week..
Awesome! Glad that I could help and I appreciate you following the channel.
MotorCity Mechanic. Quick question about a fuel pump how would i clean it? i want to see if thats more effective than replacing it first.
There is no cleaning a fuel pump. Only repair is replacement.
MotorCity Mechanic ok sounds good thank you.
Your welcome.
You make it easy! Makes me feel like a mechanic!
Nice work! One of the best videos I have seen. You focus on what is important and don't waster time fiddling with things!
Thanks a lot for this two videos, excelent explanation. Both help me to remove inlet manifold of my Dodge Caliber to access to the oil pressure sensor. From Venezuela.
Awesome....glad to see that the videos are helping people all over the world! Thanks for the comment and make sure to subscribe
Thanks for this! Going to be doing this job on my wife's 2009 2.4 Sebring tomorrow.
Thanks for your video, same chrysler sebring 2007 , I changed and work great 👌🏻👌🏻
Your welcome and thank you as well
thanks . a few month ago i take my car to the mechanic cause a checl engine light pops up . the code said its the intake manifold control i paid to the mechanic for replace the little peace. now i have the same code its showing the same intake manifold runner. i deside to browse around and see how difficult its but its look easy thanks to you from now on i will Start fixing my car byeñ my self .
If you take your time you shouldnt have any issues and end up saving alot of money. No harm in taking on this job and learning more about your vehicle. Make sure to subscribe and watch my other videos.....I have plenty more that might help you. .
Great video. I watched it after removing my intake and all the procedures are correct. I removed mine the exact same way. I however did break a fastener clip taking the connector off the intake located on the bottom left. It was really stuck in place. If this causes a problem I will have to replace the connector and solder the wires on the new connector.
I want to thank you I like to see more videos of Dodge journeys2.4l
I will certainly keep that in mind in the future. Thanks Melvin
Man, Great video. Very easy instructions. I am going to try on my sisters 2009 dodge Journey. Hope it is as easy..Thank you so much for sharing you knowledge with us
sylvan purcell Thanks Sylvan......I appreciate the kind words. Hopefully everything goes well. Make sure to subscribe if you haven't already.
Nice , thanks . Going to remove my intake this Sunday to address the intake runner sticking issue . Now I know exactly how to do this
Great video, I worked on cars back in the seventies everything is different. Great help with all the different fasteners. Just getting ready to put the new one back on. Thanks Again
+Dean Graybill Thanks Dean. I appreciate the kind words and for taking the time to watch the videos. Make sure to subscribe if you haven't already! Enjoy the rest of your weekend
Finally a mechanic that doesn’t hold out
I love your videos editing, it is right to the point and has concise information as to your technique. Was hoping you could do a head gasket video for these 2.4L "World Engines" as they are used in so many vehicles. Thanks for the video's - subscribed.
say11911 Appreciate the feedback. I try to add as much info as I can. At least in my newer videos at least. I can actually say that I have never removed a head on that engine. If I ever do then I will try to do a video on that. Make sure to subscribe.
Nice videos dude. fast but you cover it all. which is perfect for the average experienced mechanic. i like how you dont lolly gag on unneeded details, like how it was brought in on on flat bed truck or how you found a bird nest in it. fast, professional, informative. thanks. BTW... is your shop in Detroit? you seem to have a slightly southern accent.
Thanks John for the feedback and the kind word. Your correct....not in Detroit but actually in Georgia. The name throws people....its mainly to represent the brand of cars I work on....mainly Chrysler or one of the other 2. So basically the car companies out of Detroit. I was actually born in Germany and must have picked up some southern twang for being here for soooo many years now. Thanks again for watching and make sure to subscribe and have a Happy New Year!
Thanks man, This was exactly what I needed, i didn't want to get all my damn tools out to do this so i just wrote down everything in a list. This engine is in a LOAD of cars, it appears to be Designed to have this failure. Just as the alternator is a piece Of crap design. A really spendy one. Just crossed 100K on the 2008. I am on the Third "3" alternator! ( get the Life time warranty, you will not regret it) I got this part ( Manifold) with a 2 year warranty. Check around because this part can be had for between 250 to 600.00 and it;s the SAME PART. I personally believe I could clean the old one up but I just went ahead and got a new one complete.
other problems with this car are so numerous it;s insane But I would like to tell folks who are having electrical disturbances that your car is not possessed. what it is when your cars seemingly freaking out - shooting windshield wiper fluid when you have the turn signal on , honking when you didn't honk and so on. believe it or not. WEAK battery Or weak connection! Also bad alternator can cause that battery to fry.
I know sounds weird but its that easy. did I say easy? your battery is in a jacked up place man! inside the Bumper driver side! YUP> get those cables cleaned up right and make sure your battery is good to go and your electrical problems - for the most part will vanish. there can be enough juice to start and run your car and still have bad problems from lack of power. This has happened to me personally several times.
the alternator is a fairly new crappy design. it has a pulley on it that is made to disengage the charging force to reduce stress and supposedly save fuel when you do not need to have the charger running. this new pulley design ( I call anything new that is made after 1999/ LOL ) fails and the alternator makes a nasty noise that is hard to pinpoint. It will sound like it could be coming from the idler, or the power steering or the A/C but its that damn alt pulley.
GET A LIFETIME warranty one or you will be sorry, I had one go at 55K then again @ 73K and then right after I had to replace the entire transmission ( yeah @ 85K ) it happened again. so far so good now at 100 K with the alternator - Now i just have to do this manifold up - LOL Ha ha. yeah this will be the last thing i am sure. BS>
i will never ever buy anything like this car again. I am not a Mechanic! I feel like I bought a DIY mechanics course when i got this car.
Thank you
U need to go show Chrysler how bad of a job.they did to this avengers..they do need people like you in their engineering/design room.thanks a million for the video.
Thanks Danny for the feedback and kind words. Make sure to subscribe.
Great service
I gotta change my intake manifold gasket on my 2013 dodge avenger, I’m thinking I do all these steps besides taking the throttle body off and the air filter assembly and map sensor correct? Video very helpful nonthe less
Nice job wish we had more videos on a 07 jeep compass 2.4 can't really find any
I believe there are some I have posted about the lower control arm, tuneup, and I believe the alternator. Feel free to search thru the playlist to see if there are some by either model or engine.
Great job on explanation and hands on task. Keep it up
Many thanks Joe! Thanks for checking the video out and for the time you spend commenting as well. Its all appreciated!! Make sure to subscribe
Great job!!
Thanks Walter
Would like to have seen the surface cleaning before installation of the new manifold.
Great video!! Is there anyway I can change that pcv hose on top without taking off the whole manifold
Best video ever see. Hey sr al a problem with the code P0491. But already replaced the secondary air pump. And the valve to. Bu still continue same code and same problem. Bank 1
You think 🤔 probably be the intake manifold control like this video.
Great simplistic instructions and videos. Very easy to understand and follow. Ya don’t miss a thing, and even the little stuff is important if I have to guess….. haha Bravo
Awesome,this is what I need!Thank you so much!
Your welcome. Thanks Michael for watching and for taking the time to comment. Make sure to subscribe.
Thanks, that was awesome and knowledgeable. One question, where is the mass air flow sensor?
Your welcome. We dont use a MAF on these engines. Chrysler stayed away from that system for the most part. Instead we use a MAP (manifold absolute pressure) sensor.
Thank you so much bro..great job and well explanation...
Your welcome and thanks for the great feedback. Make sure to subscribe if you havent already.
Excellent vid. Thanks for posting.
Your welcome Rich and thank you for watching. Subscribe and share the videos.
Dear sir THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH this project went PERFECT because of you!!! JUST like you explained. I did it to a 2013 Jeep compass!! the jeep had some water in the intake manifold ..its now running perfectly do you have a transmission change video ? anyways I will subscribe to your video, all the best to you my friend !!
Appreciate the great feedback. Many thanks and glad that the video was able to help with the repair. I dont have a video on the trans change however. Maybe one day lol. Thanks for subscribing and all the best to you as well!
Roughly how much torque should be applied to the intake bolts/nuts on re-install? 20lbs? Not used to these o-ring rubber gaskets, sortof an old school engine guy with paper gaskets!.
Dean approved ..... you're awsome ,
Much appreciated! Make sure to subscribe and Merry Christmas
Amazing job helped me so much!
Awesome. Glad it helped. Thanks for watching and make sure to subscribe
Thanks for video. It helped get me prepared to replace the intake gasket on my 07 Compass. The only thing I would like to know is the location of my fuel pump relay.
Thanks Brian for the feedback. The relay for the fuel pump is actually made into the integrated power module (fuse box under the hood). Its part of the circuit board and no removable. It only comes with the integrated power module. Make sure to subscribe and check out my other videos.
Your video helped me out removing my intake and replacing my gasket. Your quick reply to the relay also helped me out cause I was scratching my head looking for it. I replaced my gasket but I'm still getting a P0300 code. I was planning on removing the EGR and checking it/ cleaning it. I have searched the Jeep, I have searched Google, and I still can not find it. Could you help push me into the right direction.
Misfire codes require duplicating the skip and then using a scanner to actually watch that misfire to see where and what cylinders need to be checked. Otherwise you are going at it blind. There are always basic items like swapping plugs and coils to other cylinders to see if the skip/misfire moves. I havent come across any real issues with this engine when it comes to misfires.
I'll try that. I was just following down the list from the code site because it isn't acting like a plug issue. I had a code for my crankshaft sensor. I replaced it and now the only code left is the P0300 and nothing else. I'll change the plugs and coils around to see if I can pick up anything. Thank you for the tip.
If you find something then let me know so that I might be able to share with others that might have the same issue in the future.
I have a 2012 Dodge Journey and it’s popping p2173 code. I replaced the throttle body and still pops code and car goes into limp mode when it’s cold outside. I used carb cleaner to look for vacuum leaks and when I spray the top of intake manifold is bogs down. I’m thinking it needs just a new gasket. Do u agree?
Its very possible. I have seen that seal get distorted and flattened over time. I would certainly remove it and check to see how bad it is. Thanks for asking and for watching. Make sure to subscribe.
Awesome job 👍
very,good.

good video...I have compass wich gives me less space. should i remove the radiator or can i still remove the manifold it with it..
+Cesar Jaimes Morning Cesar.......you should be fine with leaving the radiator in. It will be a bit tight but still okay. Thanks for the question and make sure to subscribe
great help
Glad I could help. Make sure to subscribe and check out my other videos.
Can you show me what a VVt sensor 1 and VVT sensor 2
Good job
Very good video
So I did this repair but cleaned out the runner control valves didn't buy a new intake manifold now I'm getting 3 codes 0123 1607 and 2004
Thanks a lot amigo!!

Well done ! Thank you !
Many thanks Mr. Bill!
Awesome...is it the same for a 07 Dodge Caliber? Great video!!!👍🏿
Good video, where do the 2 vacuum hoses at the front go too?
You're a hero for this video thank you brother!
This video is very good. I have two questions.
I have a 2008 Dodge Avenger 2.4 cylinder. My starter has been replacing four times in less than forty day time frame, yes that is what I said. The car cut off on me while driving without any warning while I was on the interstate. No crank No start
1.WHAT DO YOU THINK IS?
2. How do you replace a PCV valve?
+truecarolyn truecar I can say that I haven't had to replace a starter of this engine as of yet. They seem to hold up great. I am assuming that they keep replacing it and its not the cause. Its something that needs to be checked very well so that it can be isolated. The cutting off while driving is probably related and not a starter issue. Now the hard thing is having it acting up when its checked so that the diag can be accurate. There is no one cause that I can mention at this point. I would physically have to start checking things such as codes....power and gound leading to the starter. The charging system to make sure the battery is good and that the alternator is charging the battery. Any of these can cause an issue.
Thank you.
Your welcome! Thanks for watching and dont forget to subscribe!
Why is it that when I purchased a intake manifold it doesn't come with any runner valves in it
There may be more then one version.....I would check back with where you got it. They may need the VIN to be sure whats the correct part.
I have an 08 avenger with the p2004 code I don't have much knowledge of vehicles so these vids help a ton. I'm looking into replacing the manifold, but is it possible that it could just be the runner control valve and can that be removed without taking the entire manifold off?
Thanks. 🌹🌹🌹
Great job, happen to know if there's a torque spec on the 5 intake bolts?
This video it is really good this help me you if I know where your shop is I would carry my 2009 dodge journey to you guy to work on what ever time it needs work to done on it up up guy
Thanks for the kind words in for watching. If you are close to Augusta Ga I would be more then happy to work on it. Make sure to subscribe
I have 1997 dodge 2500 5.9 cummins 2wd auto. My abs light and E -Brake light are on and it jumps in and out of over drive. I have replaced abs speed sensor tran. speed sensor front rotors, brakes, calibers, inner outer bearings, and seals and I'm still having the same problem. I have done all the work myself THANKS to TH-cam. I love my truck HELP ME OUT
+Michael Hatcher What we need to do is have the codes checked. With the lights being on......there will be a code stored in the ABS control module. That code will determine what the next step will be.
good job very good instation give a 10 plus
Great vid. Just subscribed! 👍🏾😎
Many thanks and the feedback is appreciated
Could you just try clean it overnight with carb cleaner and see if it stops sticking? This is an expensive part.
The issue is that its plastic and cleaners such as that would damage it. I understand it being expensive but I havent seen any other fixes other then replacement.
Do u have any videos of lifter repair on a Dodge avenger 2.4 liter...
Not at this time. Hasn’t been anything I have ever had to replace. But if I do then I will certainly keep it in mind. Thanks for asking!
if the intake runner valves are sticking setting a code could you not just clean inside the intake manifold ports around the valves and try to remove the carbon buildup? i have an 08 sebring with code p2015 replaced actuator and still setting the same code, im going to try to clean the inside of the manifold off. only have 87k miles lol
Thanks buddy ,
Your welcome! Let me tell you thank you for checking the video out. Make sure to subscribe and enjoy the weekend
Thanks bro
You are a legend, thank you very much for your time and knowledge. A quick question, I have a dodge avenger 2008 2.0 petrol. It is a right hand drive (UK) it sometimes blows warm air on the passanger side (left side of the car) and cold on the driver's side (right hand side). At times i get some warm air coming out for few seconds on the driver's side but overall its always freezing air. Please help I have tried flushing the pipes that circulate the water to the car with no joy.
The heater core has a very common problem from the factory when it was made the
Casting leaves sand behind causing a partially clogged heater core which causes cold air on passenger side.replacement of heater core is necessary to fix.
thanks, just a simple question, would you show the failure of the intake runners flappers, an are they cleanable?
I replaced the throttle body on a 2012 Jeep compass 2.4 and Car is still not acting right I have a code P2173 I get the red thunder bolt and no throttle response also getting u1407 u1424 and u1425
Thanks for de video, I have a question do you know if I have to remove the intake manifold to replace the pcv hose? I was trying to check the pcv valve and I broke the hose
I have a 2010 Jeep compass 2.4 Engine idols good but when driving it has no power dont go over 20 miles an hour
Any lights on the dash....check engine light or throttle light?
Would it be the same on a Dodge Caliber? Great video!
I was told there was NO CODE. But the abs light & the E Brake
If the lights are on.....I would expect codes for sure. Not sure who scanned it but make sure the scanner is capable of reading all the modules.
Hi, I have a recurrent code P2004 and P2017 in my chrysler sebring 2008 2.4, first my mechanic cleaned the Intake manifold, valve and de throttle body, after two weeks driving it the codes came back, he replaced the intake manifold runner valve for a new one, every time he tried to fix it he erease the codes, and again the codes come back. In the moment any sign of problem only the codes, now it sounds a clicks when you put the key in "on", and when I'm driving up to 40mph and I stop accelerating, it increases the RPM, like if I have been accelerating
Great video! Question. If those flaps are stuck. Is it possible to just spray cleaning fluid to remove carbon build up?
dustingaldeano The issue you run into is the intake and flap are plastic.....they don't recommend spraying any type of cleaner. The only recommendation from Chrysler is replacement
Have a P2010 and P2008 on an ‘07 Caliber 2.0 (05/06 build). It bucks and jerks under 3000 RPM. I removed the actuator and it rotates about 30 degrees if I use pliers on the tab that engages the rod the flappers are attached to. When I apply 12V it only rotates about 15 degrees. I can also move the flapper rod, but only about 15 degrees as well. Does this sound like it is functioning correctly?
good vid... you're gonna be my new best friend.
i need parts for my 08 patriot; front wheel...
is it the same under the hood as the 4x4 version?
i need pretty much everything. struts manifold etc
The parts should be the same and the removal as well.
What code did you have before this repair? I'm having p2173 and throttle replacement didn't fix it. I'm leaning towards intake manifold gasket now.
Did you fix it or figure it out? I have same code. I pour water on intake manifold and it’s stumble and shaking.
@@weather--girl8619 yup. Intake manifold gasket! All is well after replacing it!
@@christophertarletsky3470 water test was indeed correct. I also used smoke machine to be 100 percent sure. Yep. Gasket bad. Removal is easy well some of connectors are freakin nightmare. Freaking Chrysler lol.
@@christophertarletsky3470 it actually set misfire code (p0304) when I poured water on Cylinder 4 and lean condition (p0171) fuel Trim were high. Better when engine is warm and high rpm. Gasket on number 4 were flat as pancake and cracked. I do have detective pcv value , need OEM part. 😃
Great tutorial! Thank you
Many thanks Felix! Appreciate the feedback, Make sure to subscribe when you get time.
@@MotorCityMechanic I did subscribe, and tomorrow I'll tackle that same job on a 2009 Jeep Patriot. Merry Xmas
@@vqscpo Thanks for subscribing and or the comment!
Is this the same procedure as a 2009 Dodge Caliber with the 2.0?
So if I'm removing the pcv valve hose because its broke do I have to basically follow this processes?
I have to replace the starter on my 08 Sebring. Will removing the intake manifold give me better access to the starter or should I remove the throttle body and gain access that way?
Great video, thanks dude
So i have a ? I know this video a little old but a answer would be appreciated! So i have a hissing like air sucking in noise by the intake manifold how would I know if it's just the gasket need replacing or the entire unit? Mine is a 2013 avenger 2.4
First thing I would do is make sure there is no vacuum leak from a hose at the intake. Do a real good visual inspection first. Otherwise you can smoke test the intake to leak any leaks....this is the most accurate method. Another thing is a mechanics stethoscope.....what I do is take the metal end off and move the rubber hose around to different areas while listening with the ear pieces in. This works well also. Thanks for asking and for watching. Make sure to subscribe.
@@MotorCityMechanic I got the manifold of the gasket was worn down a bit right now I'm going to clean it and see eventually replace the whole part! What did you use to get the fuel rail off the manifold none of the tools fit in that tight spot?
Great video!!!!!!
Thanks Richie! Appreciate the feedback. Make sure to subscribe!
2008 avenger 2.4 p2016 i replaced the valve and now the light wont clear at all where before it would at least clear for an hour or so. what did i do wrong?
Thank you, bruh 🤙
Good stuff thank you for the knowledge!
I have a 08 avenger with a p2004 code.should I replace the intake manifold runner, rather than the whole manifold?
