How do you fix trouble code p1537?

Trouble code P1537 typically indicates an issue with the intake air control system, often related to the intake manifold runner control (IMRC) or variable intake manifold system. To fix this code, first inspect the intake manifold runner control actuator for proper operation and any signs of damage or blockage. Additionally, check the wiring and connections for any faults, and ensure that the vacuum lines are intact. If necessary, clear the code after repairs and test drive the vehicle to see if the code returns.

Everything that I've read on the subject suggests that this control is driven electronically. That is, the computer opens and closes the valve. Sludge buildup will cause it to stick open - it seems no one has one to stick closed. The computer uses proprietary software, which seems to be unavailable to small auto shops, and do-it-yourself people. The "fix" is to take the vehicle to a Ford shop, where they will re-program your computer, telling it to cycle that valve during driving, to prevent the build up of sludge. Since the air ports are located between the intake manifold and the valves, physically cleaning them would mean removing the manifold. Removing the manifold on an older car is little challenge to me. I hate working on these newer cars, with everything made of aluminum, and no room to get your hand into the small spaces, let a alone the tool necessary to turn the bolt. Perfect recipe for stripped bolts, and yet more expensive repairs. *Edit* You can also try looking at the hose that goes into the IMRC necause sometimes they can crack and that is a simple and cheap fix. I posted a link to a youtube video on locating the hose. Hope this helps someone =)both actuators share the same vacuum source so if one goes bad they both don't work, using a vacuum pump on each actuator will tell you witch one is bad, when they fail they stay open...there is a left and a right bank .if they both work with external vacuum check the hoses for manifold vacuum you have to plug one hose to check then the other
