What are the best intake manifold actuator adaptors for 2007 Honda Civic EX?
so, I was out cruising in my 07 Civic EX when suddenly the engine light pops up. After some panic and a lot of googling, I figured it was the intake manifold actuator acting up. I remember hitting up a local shop and getting these adaptors that were supposed to fix it, but they didn’t even last a month. Ridiculous right?
But really, what’s the deal with these adaptors? I wanna know which ones are actually worth it. And have any of you had to deal with this nonsense before? I can’t be the only one out here dealing with actuator drama. It’s like a soap opera, but with engines and less romance.
Ive been tinkering with my 07 Civic EX for a while now and the actuator adaptors can be tricky to choose. I found that the Skunk2 adaptors worked fine for my setup. Had a friend in Michigan who swore by the K-Tuned ones though.
