My 2000 ford windstar's check engine light pops on & the code given says that I have a damaged intake manifold runner control module? what does this mean? How expensive/serious is this??? Thanks!
Hi,
The intake manifold runner control module (IRMC) controls how the air is fed into the intake parts in the engine head. There are air passages that open and close depending on what the engine RPM is. This is to improve engine performance and efficiency.
I have a 98 ford windstar, and the service engine light is on. It is on because the intake manifold runner control is stuck open. how do I fix this, or, how much would it cost to have it serviced/ possibly replaced?
Please ignore the answers about beating on it. I had the same problem. I just added a page about this to the google windstar group:

That page should give you all the information

Hey guys my check engine light came on yesterday. So today I took it to Autozone to get it checked. I got the codes P0642-sensor reference voltage "A" circuit low and P2004-intake manifold runner control stuck open. Shortly after my CEL went away. I don't know if the problem is still there and is it still safe to drive? I am currently stage 1 chipped with a carbonio intake. I've tried to do research on the issue and haven't really found anything tangible. Could someone please explain?

Auto Tech: Direct versus port fuel injectionAutos.ca - Dec 31, 1969
Port injection sprays the fuel into the intake ports where it mixes with the incoming air. The injectors are often mounted in the intake manifold runners, where the fuel sits until the intake valve opens and the mixture is pulled into the engineCanada.com - Dec 31, 1969
