Hello, I have a 2017 F150 5.0 with 96k and have the P2007 error. Since an OEM intake manifold replacement and ETA is not available, I have a few questions and am thinking about replacing the intake manifold with one that has no runner control valves. Could this negatively impact fuel mileage, and how much? Also, what replacement manifold do you recommend? And what IMRC delete kit and tune do you recommend? I really appreciate any input that you have.

 

Replacing the intake manifold would be about the last thing I would suspect. More likely a sensor or actuator control.

It would've been my last guess also. After reading much about the problem, the most common failure mode is a broken runner valve shaft. So I removed my intake and this is exactly what happened to mine. This is the shaft that the runner valves pivot on and it is not replaceable, requiring manifold replacement. I now know exactly what is wrong, but since an 2017 OEM manifold isn't available, I'm still looking for a detailed plan on how to upgrade to the newer and more reliable manifold.
Thanks for your input!

Just wanted to share my daugther's experience with this failed sensor / vacuum actuator on the runner shaft. Dealer took the intake off after scanning the codes and determining that her 2016 F150 - 5.0 liter Coyote probably needed a new intake. After pulling the intake off to confirm that the sensor rod / shaft was broken, the shop announced that the intake was back ordered (2,000+ BO's) across North America - no parts available and no ETA. This intake only fits two years, 2016 – 2017. (I think they refer to it as a Gen 2 but I may be wrong).

She waited a week and then decided to have the truck re-assembled and drive it until the part arrived. Last week she drove to Detroit from home (about 125 miles) and started calling large Ford dealers in rural areas NW of Detroit. The first dealer she contacted indicated they had stock, but when she got there the intake had been snapped up. The parts guy checked neighboring dealer inventory (I think he went outside Ford's network and used a data sharing Dealer Management System like Reynolds and Reynolds or ADP) and determined that another dealer 100 miles SW had 10 intakes. What I'm trying to say is that the intake is NOT unobtainium, it's out there you just have to be creative. Still no stock at home though.

So, she drove 100 miles and arrived at the dealership just as a second shipment of 10 intakes was arriving. The first shipment of 10 were already spoken for, but she did manage to buy one from the second batch. So now the truck is scheduled for repair on Sept 1. In the mean time she continues to drive the underpowered F150 and baby it to and from work on back roads as it doesn't have the ability to accelerate quickly enough to get on major highways.

What I found interesting about this shortage is that some guys have tuned their trucks using Mustang intakes that will also fit the 5.0 Coyote by also using an aftermarket software kit to re-learn the PCM.

I'm old school**, so back in the late 60's and early 70's if you wanted it to go, you stuck a 4 barrel carb / intake on it and a lumpy cam. **My Avatar is a '62 Falcon Futura with a '68 Ford 302 - hipo 289 heads and exhaust manifolds, 271 HP Cobra cam, dual point distributor and a small 4 barrel Holley). Would almost lift the front wheels on the 1-2 power shift. Gave the Chevy guys something to think about ...

Now you can re-tune these technological marvels by swapping intakes; - but who knew??

 

Well....kind of but not really. I spent Sunday watching several hours of intake videos as the 5.0 is a "new to me" motor. I ran into this problem when I first obtained my truck and fixed it with lockouts and tuning. From the videos I watched, the truck intake makes more torque than any of the very popular mustang intakes, but runs out of steam earlier in the RPM range. There are solutions out there for the intake if you search youtube.
