You wanna pay someone to do this...LOL
Prepare to be raped by a shop and odds are they won't have any idea how to do it properly.

You sure, your IMRC is even opening?
Also, a good idea is to pull the upper and lower. Clean them. Check the secondaries at the same time.

From the sounds of it his IMRC is not functioning at all, not just needing an intake cleaning....

Bring that thing up to albany and I'll fix it. It's definitely needing a little more than fixing than secondaries.

Do you have any CEL codes? If your IMRC is shot, shouldn't you show some?
Meanwhile, I had a main cat go bad and break up once, the fragments started to plug my exhaust, so I had like 110 fwhp before it was fixed.

Besides the intake manifolds/IMRC I was going to mention checking the main and precats for clogging.

The IMRC is so easy though... All you need to do to check that is pop the hood, look straight down below the throttle body at the little linkage running the secondaries. Give it enough throttle to get over 4k rpms. If you don't see that linkage moving you need a new IMRC or its something in that respect.
Post up your dyno graph if you have it.... If the power falls flat on its face around 4k rpms its a good indication.

Bingo, either that or just pin them open:laugh:
ill try to scan of my dynograph, but as far as pinning them open i heard you might lose hp that way, if the pre cat stuff fell out where would it end up ypipe?Bingo, either that or just pin them open:laugh:

From the looks of things thats the least of your worries.....
Pinning them open would either varify or disprove that yor IMRC is functioning....if the car actually has some life above 3800 RPM with them pinned open as opposed to not, then the IMRC is most certainly your problem.

my IMRC failure never gave me a code. the only way you can get a code apparently is if the spring doesnt have any tension on it. well my spring had tension on it, but the box was fried.
its about 138$ new from steve at tousley ford, but i bet you could get one pretty cheap from a CEG'er.
you should get a manual and look at the how-to though, the secondary clips could be gone and the linkage is possibly just laying in the engine bay somewhere.....
