P2006 need help.

[destineal]

Hey everyone, I got a P2006 cel yesterday in 4th gear probably around 2000rpm and decided to go WOT. CEL came on. Checked it, cleared it. I just zip tied the vcts actuator on the passenger side of the intake manifold today, and the cel just came back on p2006 in my face. Before, I zip tied it, I turned the car on to see if the actuator would engage. It did.....I blew/sucked the actuator vacuum hose and there is no resistance(Not sure if there is supposed to be. Any help is appreciated

On the 03s the screws holding the butterfly valves in the intake (VICS valves) could come out and go into the motor but they fixed the problem by the time the 03.5s were built.

Do you still got boost.

Yeah, and there was a recall on it, so call up your dealer and give them your VIN to see if the recall has been performed.

How you guys fix P2006, I got that code too, help

At this point, I've done so many small tweaking of 50 different things, plus replacing a few indirectly related components and instead of every tank of fuel getting it to be present for a couple of days, it's been 3 weeks without it.

hey guys check your gas cap seal, took it to my mechanic and he said that if it leaks out fumes then it can send this code.

its not your gas cap seal and go get a different mech.... This has to do with the butterflys in the intake manifold and has nothing to do with the fuel system. I think A your mech is a dumbass or B just wanted to get rid of you.

replace the solenoids. I fought this thing logn and hard and replacing those fixed the issue.. the codes have never came back.

 

[tyman108]

what solenoid do you have to replace or what is a temp fix?

 

[hornsfan10609]

The VICS solenoid on the top of the intake manifold, it has a white connector.

 

[tyman108]

so replace that and it should fix the code p2006

 

[hornsfan10609]

I can't guarantee it will fix it, could be a short in the wiring harness, a mechanical problem with the actuator flaps themselves any number of things but typically those solenoids fail over time. The copper wrapping inside them degrades with age.
