need help, it had fallen off, what does it do? Are there bushings for it, how does it attach? The cable that runs from a box under the 2.5 plastic cover on the front of engine held on with 3 bolts moves this linkage, seems to be some sort of valve....Linkage runs just above fuel pressure regulator. Help

It's the IMRC cable. See if you can pop it back on. If not, your secondaries will not open.

There should be a plastic clip on the cable itself. Similar to the cruise control cable. If it's not there, it's gone. You'll have to replace the cable.

on the areas the linkage connects the two together there are square holes, like a bushing of some sort goes in, then the linkage snaps in??

Sounds like you mean the small rod that runs from the back bank (where the IMRC cable connects) to the front bank. Yes there are plastic / nylon plugs that go in the square holes on the IMRC arms to hold the rod - they get brittle and break. If you still have the rod you can just use e-clips from any hardware store to hold it, or order new retainers from Ford.
I think Lance (site creator) broke his and had to order new ones from Bill J - so he could speak up on this.
Without the cable your front bank butterflies may be totally opeen or totally closed, if you move the metal arm toward the radiatorr that is open, moving it back toward the firewall is closed.
FYI - a partly or fully open IMRC bank may adversely effect idle, and could (maybe?) explain moosing if you've never had it before. Maybe a long shot but I would fix this and clean your current IAC with TB cleaner before replacing any parts for the moose from your posst above.

Haha! Broke? They crumbled when I pulled the linkage out (necessary for rebuilding the intake).
Here's the part # from the intake rebuild howto:

I bought two of these bushings for my intake rebuild but did not use them. If you want them, they're available at my cost. PM or email me (remove the word "remove" from my address).
