Standard Ignition Engine Intake Manifold Runner Control Valve P/N:IMRC15
Keep your Ford's intake runners switching cleanly across the rev range with the Standard Ignition Engine Intake Manifold Runner Control Valve IMRC1. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 1996-1998 Ford Windstar [V6-3.8L] and the 1997-1998 Ford E-150 Econoline, E-150 Econoline Club Wagon, E-250 Econoline, and F-150 [V6-4.2L].
The intake manifold runner control valve actuates the runner control plates inside the intake manifold, opening and closing the secondary intake runners to route metered air through the correct path as engine speed changes.
Signs the valve may need replacing include rough idle, hesitation or a stumble on acceleration, and a runner-control-related check engine light. If a failed runner control valve is the cause, this replaces it; diagnose the fault before ordering.
Manufacturer part number IMRC1.
