Hi guys,
I have a 2008 ford focus LTCL and I've been having the p2008 error code coming on and off. Engine has rough idle at the same time. I have checked the air shut off control, with the switch in ON position while plugging and unplugging the electricals on the two air shut off control solenoids. I hear a valve/suction opening and closing on both solenoids every time I plug and unplug the electrical wirings. I have checked the vacuum hoses to the best of my ability and can't seem to find a leak. I now suspect that my tumble flaps may be stuck open. I have seen some pictures of the manifold on other ford/car websites and it looks completely different from the 2008 ford focus. For starters the vacuum hose does not come out from the front of the manifold but instead, it protrudes from the top where the manifold meets engine. I'm wondering if there are any more solenoids I might have missed out. I think I see one at the bottom left of the intake manifold but it does not appear to have any vacuum connections. Any advice with accompanying pictures will be most helpful. Thanks in advance! |

I would have agreed with you initially however I tried troubleshooting my plugging and unplugging the electricals and swapping them over to see if they were the ones causing trouble. I did not remove the vacuum hoses as they weren't coming off no matter what I tried (don't wish to cut them just yet).
When plugged and unplugged they made a short hissing sound that sounded like a relieve of pressure/vacuum. Both solenoids sounded the same. I would not dismiss them as the cause of the cel YET, but I was wondering if there were any other solenoids that I can check or maybe a way to check if the flaps were stuck open physically in the manifold. Thanks! |

The hose that goes down through the cover into the manifold might have a 'cut' or 'break' in it. Not sure how you'd test that?
