Customer Question

I have a P1004 code: describing a short runner valve problem. My research indicates that I should not have any performance issues,l but I cannot pass state inspection. Is this a programming issue or a equipment failure issue? Hard for me to decipher on line.

Matt Hardy :

Hello and welcome to Just Answer, my name is Matt.

JACUSTOMER-61b0mtl3- :

Hi: Rich here

Matt Hardy :

The most likely cause for P1004 is the short runnder valve actuator, which is located right there on the front of the intake manifold.

Matt Hardy :

It is very easy to replace.

JACUSTOMER-61b0mtl3- :

Is that easily repl;acable by a service tech

Matt Hardy :

Yes, it is easy. It is held in with 4 bolts. Takes about 5 minutes to replace

JACUSTOMER-61b0mtl3- :

R U local anywhere in New York

Matt Hardy :

No sir, I'm in Texas.

JACUSTOMER-61b0mtl3- :

OK Thanks. That should clear the code???

Matt Hardy :

If the actuator is faulty, which it probably is, after the part is replaced, the code can be cleared 3 ways: 1) disconnct battery, 2) clear fault with a scan tool, 3) drive the car normally until the check engine light goes out on it's own

JACUSTOMER-61b0mtl3- :

OK; thank you very much... signing off

Matt Hardy :

You're welcome. Thanks for using Just Answer. Please click the 'accept' button when we are finished.

JACUSTOMER-61b0mtl3- :

Sorry one other question. who manufactures this valve?

Matt Hardy :

That I do not know.

Matt Hardy :

If you look at the new or old part, it may list a vendor.

JACUSTOMER-61b0mtl3- :

Is mopar still the dodge parts company?

Matt Hardy :

Yes. Original (non-aftermarket) parts are MOPAR brand parts.

JACUSTOMER-61b0mtl3- :

Great thanks bye...
