Can someone help me out with this part please?

My IMRC is bad in the Contour... I am getting codes:
P1518=Intake Manifold Runner Control fault - Stuck Open.
P1519=Intake Manifold Runner Control Stuck Open.

I would assume this means that the actual electronics of the IMRC are okay??? I am hoping it's just the cable, but I don't know for sure. I do know that I opened up the box and the cable is broken.

Also, do you think the IMRC electronics are bad, or is it just the cable.

BTW, I have pinned the secondaries in the meantime, just tired of the cold drivability issues and the fart-smell on the freeway. Thanx ahead of time, I really appreciate it!





Also, I swear to god I hear detonation under hard accelleration... sounds like a high pitched grinding noise and is usually acompanied by black smoke out of the exhaust and then the car smells like ROTTEN EGGS afterwards... BAD.
Please tell me that this is going to go away when I replace my IMRC stuff.

Thanx guys!
