P207E Intake Manifold Tuning (IMT) Valve Position Sensor/Switch Circuit Intermittent (Bank 2)
IMT position sensor at bank 2 signal is unstable — connector or harness issue. The intake manifold runner control (IMRC) flaps tune intake geometry for filling efficiency across the rpm range; stuck flaps cost part-load torque and can set lean codes.
Is it safe to drive with P207E?
Usually safe to drive in the short term. Get it diagnosed when convenient, sooner if the car drives differently.
