Intake Manifold Runner Position Sensor - G336-, CHECKING

General Description

The Intake Manifold Runner Position Sensor -G336- provides the Engine Control Module -J623- with the position of the intake manifold runner flaps. The Engine Control Module -J623- can then use actuators to adjust these flaps to be open or closed in order to provide longer or shorter intake runners depending on the ambient conditions available at the time; plus, depending on the specific engine speed, to increase engine efficiency.
