P065F
Intake Manifold Tuning Valve Performance Bank 2
Intake manifold tuning
Generic OBD-II
High
What it means
P065F means the intake manifold tuning valve on bank 2 is not performing as the ECM commands. This valve changes the effective intake runner length to optimise airflow across the rev range, so a fault can cost power or smoothness at certain engine speeds. It is usually the valve itself, its wiring, or a stuck mechanism.
High
Can I keep driving? Usually driveable, but you may notice reduced power or torque at certain engine speeds until the tuning valve is fixed.
Common symptoms
What you'll notice
- Check-engine light on
- Reduced power or torque in part of the rev range

- Open or shorted IMTV wiring harnessCommon
- Poor electrical connection at the valve connectorCommon
- Stuck or carboned-up valve mechanismLess often
How to diagnose & fix
Work through it in order
- Read freeze-frame data and confirm the bank 2 tuning valve is at fault.
- Visually inspect the IMTV wiring and connector; repair damaged, shorted, or corroded wiring.
- Check the valve for carbon buildup or a stuck linkage and clean or free it.
- Test the IMTV actuator/solenoid against specification.
- Replace the intake manifold tuning valve if it fails, then clear and re-test.
FAQ
Quick answers
Is it safe to drive with P065F?+
Generally yes. The engine still runs, but you may lose some power or smoothness at certain RPM. Fix it to restore full performance and economy.
Can I just clear P065F?+
It will return until the tuning valve or its wiring is repaired. Clearing it won't restore proper intake tuning.
