IMRC stands for intake manifold runner controller. It is used for emission control and performance. your intake manifold has plates inside that are connected to a rod and tghe connected to the control motor. each bank of the engine can be opened and closed by the motor depending on engine load and other things. If the motor gets burns out or is shorted internally it will neend to be replaced. also the rods that go from the motor to the intake can come off at the intake or at the motor. if this happens the bushings will need to be replaced.

Where is the imrc located on a Ford Contour 1998?

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 intake manifold runner control (IMRC) is beneath the plastic IMRC cover, which is held on by several screws.

The IMRC is held in a metal box in front of the engine. It is covered by the plastic thing, called the IMRC cover by ford. There should be three or four bolts holding the cover on.


What is Ford escort part number f8ce-9j559-aa?

Intake manifold runner control aka imrc valve


The machine says the IMRC is stuck closed 1519 what does that mean its a 1998 SE ford contour?

I a guessing that you have a V6 Contour. The P1519, means that the Intake Manifold Runner Control(IMRC) solenoid is not moving when commanded by the PCM. The PCM knows it is not moving, becaus there is a built-in position sensor inside of the IMRC. The job of the IMRC is to shorten or lengthen the air flow passages into the intake manifold at the right times for maximum performance, by opening and closing ports inside of the intake manifold. These passages are moved by a cable attached to the IMRC that moves butterfly valves on shafts that run through the center of the intake. You can see the cable which will be attached to a lever and a shaft by looking right below the throttle body assembly on the driver's side of the engine. Follow that cable, and you will find the IMRC. It may even be bolted to the top of the front valve cover. Cances are you need a new IMRC. But you should clean the air intake manifold with carb cleaner to free up the butterfly valves I described. Sometimes what makes those IMRC assemblies fail in the first place, is heavily carboned up intake runner valves that cuse undue stress on the IMRC.
