Problem overview

Some Honda CR-V owners report experiencing issues related to the P1077 code, which indicates a malfunction in the intake manifold runner control (IMRC) system. This code is often linked to the internal sticking of the IMT solenoid valve, causing the IMT valve to remain stuck in a high RPM position, which can illuminate the check engine light. Additionally, owners may notice reduced engine power, particularly under full throttle conditions, due to problems with the IMT valve position sensor circuit. To resolve these issues, it is advisable to check the IMT solenoid valve and consider cleaning or replacing it as needed. In some instances, attention may also be required for the IMT valve itself, along with the sensor and cleaning of the IMRC system.
