Update on P2004 or P2017 Code - Intake Manifold Runner Control Stuck Open 2008 Jeep Patriot

Little history: Upon getting the code, I took out the sensor, cleaned it, put it back in and it worked for nearly 10 months. Tried repeating the process yet did not work. Got a new sensor and it seemed mechanical part of sensor, the rotating shaft was the problem. However, the new sensor did not work either. Tried to take out the Intake Manifold, gutted it, cleaned it, put it back in, and it also did not help, despite feeling like runners were moving way better by manipulating them with my fingers. Gave in and bought a new Intake Manifold and that did the job. The new Manifold has been installed and working since about April-May 2018 (Sorry, late in loading video). Thus, as I stated in video, if there is any slight drag in the runners, do yourself a favor and replace the Intake Manifold. Although it's a $400 part, save your time and do it, I wish I would have. Plus, the dealership sells it with sensor installed as one unit. Patriot had about 140K miles, so maybe consider old Manifold may be out if your car has many miles. I was told that they last between 50K-100K miles since it is a plastic part... Anyway, hope this helps.
