Hello everyone. I posted this problem once before but I guess I'm not the smartest. I posted in the wrong place. Anyway, I have a code 1078 on my 2008 TL type S. The actuator is bad. I have some concerns about installing the new one when it arrives. Does it have to be timed to the flap in any way or do you just bolt it on and it finds open and closed itself? Thank you for your time.

Try bolting it in to see, I think it sits closed and only opens at high rpm. So the actuator or motor will be in the right position with the engine off.

Question,

Where did you purchase your actuator? I’ve been looking like a mad man but can’t find the replacement part. And how much did it cost you? I’m having the same issue with p1078.

Thanks!

I'm not sure if you're asking me or if you're informing me. lol

The title of this thread is for '...IMRC actuator install'. IMRC=Intake Manifold Runner Control and that is #5 on the link I provided above for an '08 TL-S.

You asked where to purchase said actuator.

This is what I am wondering for an 05 TL. The service manual not state anything about installing with the flap down or up.

the flap is "keyed" so when you put the motor on it can only go 1 way, you may have to move the flap for it to go into the motor. Takes all of 2 mins, and only takes 3 seconds to drop one of those screws!

...and 4 minutes to find the @#$crew and another 5 minutes to get it out of that impossible place.
