Q: Intake mainfold issue
I had a error code P2004 on my caliber. The dealership says I need a whole new intake manifold as it only comes in one piece and not sold separately. From looking it up online it seems the issue could be a easy fix. Is is? I have not had any reduction in fuel economy. What would and where is this listed under in your list of car issues.
Thanks
