Q: Recently had the IMRC rotary valve assembly replaced. One day later and I'm getting P1078.

asked by on October 03, 2016

Hi I had CEL code P1077 and took it to a shop and they replaced the whole IMRC rotary valve assembly. Got the car back and the CEL came back on. Had the codes checked and I still have P1078. New additional current codes: 62-1 & 83-1.

Any ideas?

My car has 160000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
