Short Runner Valve
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Dodge Intrepid, 2003 Chrysler Intrepid, 2003 Chrysler Concorde, and 2003 Chrysler 300M. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The Short Runner Valve (SRV) system operates under wide open throttle conditions at more than 5000 RPM to maximize engine performance. The PCM energizes SRV solenoid, allowing mechanical linkage to redirect intake airflow to 6 short runners. The PCM looks for a current spike when actuating solenoid. If spike is not present, the PCM sets a diagnostic trouble code. It is an electrical actuator attached to the intake manifold, between 2 of the short runners. See Fig 1 .
