I am not too familiar with this. How do I visually check if everythings is working properly? I know you need to rev the engine up but I am not sure where to look.



I don't really have any pictures of this, but maybe I can explain where to look. First off, to make it easier you can take off the IMRC cover, this is the large plastic piece covering the valve cover that reads 2.5L Duratec. Under that you will find the IMRC control box. There will be a cable that comes out of it and goes under the throttle body. Find the end of that cable, it should connect to a mechanism similar to that on the throttle body. This is what opens the runners. You can view it from the front if you have the cover off (like I had you do) or from the driver side with the cover on. Now rev the car by hand past what you assume is 3500 and watch to see if the mechanism flips below the throttle body. It should flip towards the front of the car and then rotate back when below 3500.

Hope that helps.
