2007-2017 Jeep Patriot intake manifold replacement 

Bud, great video, clean audio, AND THE COMMENTARY! I just love your random comments! Fun yet educational!

This is easily the most thorough but straightforward and to the point repair video I've ever come across. About to tackle this job tomorrow morning. Thanks for the video!

I’m 16 and my dad told me to fix the jeep in the backyard and it’s mine, and I had to change the intake. Thanks for this, it helped a lot.

The best repair video I've seen so far. Great camera positions, clear audio, no junk. Keep up the good work bud.

The Patriot is the worst POS I've ever worked on, thanks for the excellent video!

I've been trying to figure out a single vacuum line after changing the engine in my 09 patriot to a 2010, and I've been clueless for over a month. This helped me finally fix it. thank you, immensely!

Rust Belt Auto- THANK YOU!! I'm a 1000 miles from being a tech and still this video helped me do my manifold. Codes are gone!! You are the best bro!!

Thank you, appreciate the detailed video very much! I followed along to replace the intake in my Jeep Compass yesterday afternoon and have been driving around today with no check engine light! Great how-to video!

Just found your channel - in between laughing out loud with the comments - definitely learned a bunch. 2009 Jeep Compass - P2004 code.....replaced the IMRC yesterday - engine light is still on...I need to take somewhere and clear the codes. May have to do the whole thing. Getting ready to buy a new car and just didn't want to have the 'check engine' light on when I try to trade this in for like a dollar....maybe $5 if I'm lucky! ;) Appreciate the video - very clear to follow - thank you!

Just wanted to add my thanks to the list. I generally know what I'm doing with car repairs, and this video saved me a ton of time having to figure out what I needed to remove and what I didn't. Thanks so much!

Got the same dreaded P2004 code on my Compass. Fortunately it is covered by warranty, so it's the dealer's problem to change the cheesy, goofy thing out. At least I know what to look for when they repair it - because they will probably forget to reconnect a harness or clamp. Great video! Thanks

Well a new part will last a lot longer that cleaning out the old one - Good Job

Thanks, man! Have the same issue on a 2016 Jeep Compass. Couldn’t get the part through any of my local shops. The Rock Auto tip was helpful. Video is really clear.

great video, was able to follow along and had the thing out in less than 2 hours

have the 2008 patriot had this done at a dealer some 5 years back paid about $950. It's the only thing to need repair on the car, 127000 miles runs great.

Probably my favorite how to for this pita. Chose the patriot simply because mechanics refuse to touch it here, the biggest problem is the lack of information.

Absolutely love your video. Ended up repairing manifold instead of buying new. Thanks mate 👍👍👍👍

I have recently come across your channel and I greatly appreciate your content. Your attention to the details (e.g. comment on the type and location of each ‘child-proof’ connector and what a righteous PITA they can be) is very useful. It is always the little things that no service manual ever warns you about that seem to make a job turn into a cluster !$&@! from hell. Your ongoing commentary has proven to be absolutely lifesaving to me. And I particularly enjoy the delightfully subtitle way that you wrap up your video sessions. Simple and straight to the point! I am sorry to say that I own a keep patriot but with your help I may actually be able to keep it on the toad! Tnx !

Great stuff rhet here. Just completed my replacement by watching your video. WELL CUT OFF MY LEGS AND CALL ME SHORTY

I appreciate the video but it made it out to be a lot easier than I had. Thank you for the clarity as you saved me about $350+

I had to have this repair done on my 2016 Patriot, local mechanics that I frequent gave me a quote of $1k all in (Massachusetts), part was on back order 4 weeks, finally gets repaired, they charge me $1500., claim repair should have been 3 hours labor, but due to dirt rust, 6 of the intake bolts were rusted and broke on them, claim it was nightmare repair job, took total 9 hours. (I had watched this video prior to my repair being done.). I said 9 hours to repair?, I told them I found that hard to believe, that they lost a customer. I’ve only owned vehicle for a couple months. Though I like the vehicle, think I should probably sell.

dang, you make it look so easy lol, I gotta do this same procedure on my 2011 jeep compass 2.0. getting a p0171 lean code, did a smoke test and intake gasket is leaking. I hope it goes as smooth for me as it looked in your vid. thanks for this.

Just had the red lightning bolt of death on wifeys 10 Pat. Tried cleaning throttle body but that made more idiot lights come on. Ty for the videos as im sure i will be doing more work on this Gem. Lol!

I get to do one of these in a couple of days time. Although it don't have the runner controller issue, just a slow accumulation vacuum leak, randomly puts the car into limp mode. I Sprayed some brake cleaner along the intake gasket line and she started to run like a bucket. Fingers crossed its just a hardened gasket and not a crack in the manifold.

3 years later first time seeing July 22 2023

Seriously, Great Job boss!! Clear and straight to the point. Perfecto! Helped me a TON!👍👍

It might have been broken, but I have had at least a dozen of these cars in the shop and this problem was usually caused by the ground wire on the right frame rail behind the headlight.

Thanks so much for the step by step. It was a great help.

Super great tutorial! Make more

Bening I'm replacing the manifold. thanks,Gary

Awesome video. You look like the Northern brother of Charlie Starr from the band Blackberry Smoke.

if u get the code p02004 just replace the whole intake manifold to make it easier i made sure just to remove the whole fuel rail and wiring harness fully out of the way paid 145.00 for it off ebay

Great job on a very difficult task. Thanks for explaining how to work all the different type connectors.

Good job 👏 that happened to me .. while I was driving I had no power

You have patience and made a good video. Someone made a comment about ground issue could that have been the problem. I had that manifold box changed but the code won't clear it's asking for the censor plug. I bought one it's a small plug. A mechanic said it's located in a difficult position. Don't know why they make stuff like this. Well we know. $$

great video.. thank you. Took me a few hours to do but would of been longer if I had not found your video :)

I came here for the info, I left with an accent and the info

The engine is pretty gnarly before I do anything like that I usually make a trip to the car wash 5 minutes there getting rid of all that crime and grit from everywhere it makes a big difference 😉👍

Solid video. Thank you for doing these.

Great video, thank you -- clear and knowledgeable instructions. The child-proof connector instructions are most valuable to me. I tend to work on Mitsubishis and BMWs which use very different connectors. Have you thought about doing a viddie about connectors all by itself. maybe by manufacturer? Thanks again.

The easiest way to get that intake out is with a medium to large size excavator. If you don't have access to an excavator you can always just drive into a tree or power pole at about 80mph

Very thank YOU for the video , very Clear everything ,, cámara audio ,,

Awesome video man. Appreciate it 🙏🏽

That was interesting. I have a 2008 4x2 -2.4L manual 5spd with 223K kilometres on her. Needs new ignition coils.

Hi, I have p2004 ctrl stuck for bank 1 - p2017 pos sens/switch circ hi bank 1. I have changed the actuator and I have also replaced the manifold and still cannot get rid of the same codes. Could it be the switch has no power to it or does it need to be re-programmed by a jeep dealership? Please help its breaking me

Thanks for a great video. I had the same problem- code 2004, replaced the controller- check engine light came back on with code 2017. Don't think I'll try the whole manifold myself. But it's good to have the knowledge when I take it to a garage. Where did you find a Mopar part? I haven't been able to locate one online.

Thank you man this video help me fix my sister's car, it's always good to know right of the bat what to remove and what will be in the way in the process of removing the part 100% grate information.

Excellant video! Thank You!

i've read that cleaning the manifold does work to clear these codes. i too replaced the solenoid and its come back after a few weeks. i wonder if i tossed a good original part and kept the junk dorman part thats maybe now failed. Im assuming the best way to clean the manifold would be to remove, dissasemble, clean, reassemble... but would some kind of intake cleaner work well enough?

I really love this video. Crap and stuff and dumb and cheesy haha Very well made though and dude you make things seem so easy!! I am going shopping for some tools :)

Great - thank you so much.

“Yeahooouu”💁🏻‍♂️😌

Bro you cracking me up I have 2011 jeep compass it stops while driving point a to b it's good but extra it won't start had to sit up than it starts code is intake

So fuel doesn't spray in your eyes. For any car, pull your fuel pump fuse and start the car a few times till it doesn't run. That way the pressure will be relieved.

I had the same issue. It turned out to be a bad ground. it is ground 110 on passenger side of engine compartment under the overflow tank. Used Deoxit on the ground after I loosened the nut on the ground stud. Have hqd no issues since. Went a head and did all the ground connectors. They were all a green snot mess of corrosion. After two control solenoids and a manifold, turned out it was just a bad ground issue

@Rust Belt Auto. Great video, glad I watched it. Hey my 2010 Patriot was popping out of ''Drive'' all the time. When you pulled the ''Air Box'' off, the transmission Shifter Cable can be adjusted right there at the trans end of the cable. The hole is elongated for adjustments. I adjusted mine out about 1/4 inch. I was ready to spend $100 on a new one too. But a guy read one of my RU-vid comments and told me about the adjustment. Now a question I do have is the 4WD! warning light comes on every time after the vehicle is started and drives over 1 mile. Have you ever heard of this before. Been looking for the fix but there's nothing on RU-vid about it, other than the 2 most likely wiring issues which have been checked out.

Great info thank you

Why disconnect the fuel line? That makes a mess. When I did this job we just disconnected the fuel rail.

Great video! I agree, its all plastic crap designed to fail!!!

Thank you that should help me on mine I have to do the same thing

Awesome video, Since you removed the throttle body, when you placed it back, did you have to reprogram/relearn it by chance? I have to replace it on my 08 Jeep Compass and don't have a way 2 reprogram this thing. Thanks!

Awesome!!!

Hola disculpe si quito todo eso no se descalibra el cuello de aseleramiento quiero limpiar todo ese sistema

Awesome video. Can you show me where the oil temp sensor is on my 2007 jeep patriot

Which year is this patriot? I'm finally doing it right now but mine is a 2014 and somethings are not like in your Patriot , guess gotta figure it out 😩

My 14 patriot has 1 code only p2017 . And i checked the valve and its working , it bounces back not stuck . The check engine light goes ON and then OFF again. What could be the issue? Thanks ..ok bye 😅

I have the avenger with this engine, I been having issues intake related, a p2016 code, and cam and crank sensor codes, and vvt codes it is intermittent, I saw where a guy had ground issues, causing problems, he was having a problem with tracing the ground, so he just added another, and want a wire to a good ground location, I had a guy firing the parts cannon at a Escalade, replacing everything without checking anything, all it was was a ground wire that was cut, and poorly repaired, someone ran a ground wire to the bad connection somewhat fixing it, but it would act up during rainy weather, and hitting bumps, he removed the wire , the girl drives to the store and is stuck there, because of his stupidity! He was about to put another throttle body on it, and already put a throttle pedal on it, I look at it, looking at the connections and wiring and after 10 minutes, I fixed the whole problem, after he replaced all those parts, even the gauge cluster, and who knows he would probably said it needed a engine before it was over!! You always check things out before reaching anything, imagine what he would done if he didn't have a scanner to tell him what to look at, great work, I was curious about how these intakes worked, mine was acting up the other day, it would not go over 25 mph at full throttle, I think the thing lost power and was stuck in the closed position, who knows, I'm going to check the ground connections, and check things out, it's missing the wheel well liner, so everything in the left front gets wet when it rains it's usually worse then!!

Does anyone know where is the manifold absolute pressure sensor on a 2016 jeep patriot latitude 2.0? I've been looking everywhere and I can't find it anywhere online!

Hi do I need to drain the coolant before removing the intake manifold?

I always pretend I'm a pirate with hook hands when using those tools.

sir i just did this job and when i pulled out my valve the whole little piece came out, the one where the valve mounts into.. now im confused cause i still cant go pass 40 mph its got me thinking maybe i clocked it wrong? TIA

Do you think putting in Techron fuel additive into the gas can help clean the intake manifold flaps and such?

Ive got code of p2008 intake manifold runner control circuit /open bank 1a. Is this code related to your same problem? TIA for response

I took mine apart and it is sludged up with oil! Can I clean intake with throttle body cleaner?

My dodge caliber does not have a intake runner control switch or the wiring harness for it? Any ideas ??

My wife has a 16 jeep compass latitude with the 2.4 I'm going to be replacing her intake manifold gasket here soon just curious what are the torque specs for the bolts .

Does anybody know if a faulty fuel pump would cause the p2004 and p2017 codes to keep coming up? seems no matter how many times I get the manifold replaced the codes come back in a matter of weeks and sometimes even months.

Also check your g110 wiring that also could be a issue

I have a question for you, Truthfully how long did that job take?? I have the Compass and need to change the Battery cables, And it looks like I will half to remove the intake to do so, So just wondering how much time I need to set aside for the job.

So I’m having a p2006 with mines nd the intake manifold and the runner replaced and instead of showing p2004 which was the reason I got it replaced now it’s showing p2006 and yes I got my intake from the same place as you did rockauto and I’m trying to figure out what would it be would it be the part on it what any tips

Should i buy one from Amazon for $180.? or Dealer for $500.

How much it cost? Just the mainfold of admission...

EXCELLENT

I am getting Error Code P2173. The Lightning Bolt error on the dash, the traction control light and engine lights are on. I thought that it was the throttle body or air leaking from the main hose. I cleaned the throttle body, tightened the clamps on the air intake, cleaned the Mass Air Flow sensor, reset the computer and nothing worked. Still high idle, errors on dash, slow speed, jumpy on take off. Someone said it was the manifold gasket. I am not looking forward to taking that off!

Me gusta el ejemplo que asen para armar y desarmar

Should check your Years. Doesn't cover 2014 jeep cherokee 2.4

Where you bought the intake manifold? I have 2007 chrysler sebring I believe the same part and check engine light still on after replace the actuator.

Ok so how much would it cost to pay someone to fix this?

Man you are hilarious to listen too hahaha great video

Will this also allow you to change the oil sending unit. Thanks Gary

What intake runner control valve did you used, Mopar or Dorman?

Why would you need to replace the manifold?

O.g. this just happened to me. Damn it

How well did that new intake manifold hold up?

DORMAN, THE FIRST AND LAST NAME IN CRAPPY PARTS

What material is the old one?

Trying to figure out why the old manifold was defective was a bonus. “Cheesy junk”

is 1200 a crazy amount to be charged to replace the intake manifold he said that the manifold flap is cracked and needs to be replaced, he said he cant find any at auto parts or junkyards since this is a comon problem on jeeps and it had to be ordered from jeep for 800$ and 300 labour plus tax this is pretty steep when junk yard charged 120 for the part, i think he did not look around or just was too lazy and he can make more doing it this way do u agree? or should i look around in the states or on ebay , im from canada by the way

How much is that guna cost me now

Did you use any loctite??
