after running the car hard for a while my check engine light come on, my friend has the span-on scanner so i read the codes and come back as Inlet Mannifold Runner Control (IMRC) stuck closed, i called the ford house and they could not help over the phone has anyone seen this before

Would not be unusual for the IMRC to go out. You can check its operation by watching the IMRC linkage/cable open the secondaries at around 3800 RPM when revving the engine by hand. The secondary butterfly valves may be gunked up with carbon, causing them to stick. Post the code to get more detailed info/help, or look up your code here (Sounds like a P1512/13??) You'll be happy to get this fixed.

the code was 1519 it was stuck open not closed my mistake
