I know what the codes say
" P1516 Inlet Manifold Runner Control Input Error (Bank 1) (Ford)
P1518 Inlet Manifold Runner Control Stuck Open (Ford)"
Also the car lost that kick at 3200 rpm (it used to work and it just stopped exactly when the CIL came on)
what I dont know is how to fix them. I took apart the intake manifold and cleaned out the runners with carb clean, put it back together and it still didnt work.
next step was taking apart the manifold again and this time replaced the IMRC unit (they have a new design from the original sturdy corp one it looks like, but it costs $318). Put that back together and still no kick from 3200 and the check engine light STILL comes on!
What should I do next? I am lost on this project and all the posts I have read says its one or the other and now I have done both.
Please help
