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.
I have seen tutorials before on replacing the whole thing, replacing just the cable, and a full parts list (gaskets and so on) for taking the upper and lower intake off.
Can someone please point me in the right direction. What do I need to get parts-wise in order to NOT have to run to the store/dealership in the middle of the work? 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!
