Since you are asking, I assume you have a V6 Duratec powered contour. If this is the case, the IMRC is located just in front of the engine, underneath the IMRC cover, the plastic cover mounted to the engine with several screws and says "Duratec" on it.
The imrc on a 2002 Mercury Cougar with the V6 Duratec is located just in front of the engine under the plastic IMRC cover, the plastic cover which says Duratec. There should be several screws holding the cover in place.
Most likely a bad or weak ground wire
The IMRC (Intake Manifold Runner Control) module regulates the operation of the intake manifold runner valves in an engine. These valves adjust the airflow into the engine to optimize performance and efficiency across different RPM ranges. By altering the intake path, the IMRC enhances torque at lower speeds and improves overall engine responsiveness. Proper functioning of the IMRC is crucial for maintaining engine power and fuel efficiency.
