P2007: Bank 2 intake runners remain closed when the monitored command requires otherwise

Ford identifies P2007 as bank 2 intake manifold runner control stuck closed in its vacuum-actuated V-engine strategy. The relevant evidence is a failure to match the commanded plate position, not simply the observation that the runners are closed at idle.

The command determines whether closed is abnormal

The source evaluates functional position across four events after coolant temperature exceeds 40°F. A closed position can only be assessed against the requested state and the monitor's eligible conditions. Preserve both rather than inferring a fault from a static inspection.

Electrical circuit checks have a separate five-second duration. A valid control circuit does not prove that the runner mechanism responds, while an incomplete functional sequence does not establish a successful repair.

Check the credibility of position feedback

Ford lists bank 2 position-sensor low, high and over-travel results alongside the control-circuit and stuck-position codes. If feedback is electrically invalid, the apparent closed state requires careful interpretation. Conversely, a valid position signal can document a functional mismatch without identifying its mechanical cause.

The summary is scoped to a particular vacuum-actuated arrangement. It does not identify which models use it or locate the bank 2 mechanism. Use the exact engine's diagnostic procedure to determine the cause, then verify that the requested and actual states agree during completed functional events. P2007 alone does not justify replacing the intake manifold or actuator assembly.

Source and applicability

This explanation covers the cited Ford monitor variants, not every vehicle displaying this code. Match the engine, sensor architecture and calibration before applying numerical limits.
