Its located on the lower intake manifold on the 3.9 motor. Its behind the belts, between the two heads.
Finding the intake manifold runner control on a Dodge Avenger is easy. It is located near the engine.
P1004-SHORT RUNNER VALVE CONTROL PERFORMANCE The short runner valve actuator is bolted on the end of the intake manifold.

Intake manifold runner control aka imrc valve
In the intake plenumn.
It is located on the front valve cover under the cover that says "duratec 24v dohc"
attached to the lower intake manifold on the belt side usually little plastic bushings are broken on those
In the intake plenumn.
is it on the side of the intake
They are inside the intake manifold.
Assuming this is fuel injected system, look for where the air filter hose goes into the intake manifold entrance (goes from rubber to metal). Remove the hose from the intake entrance. The intake entrance is where the cable from the gas pedal meets the intake at a device that opens the first butterfly valve. Remove the four screws that retain the throttle control section and disconnect the wires to the throttle position sensor and the idle intake control valve. The IMRC is now exposed below the intake throttle valve section. It will come off after removing the two top screws and one at the bottom. It is likely a sealed unit and not serviceable.
On a 2003 Ford Ranger with a 2.3-liter engine, the intake manifold runner control (IMRC) is typically located on the intake manifold itself. It is part of the manifold assembly and is responsible for regulating airflow for improved engine performance at different RPMs. The IMRC consists of a valve and linkage that adjusts the runner length based on engine conditions. To access it, you may need to remove components like the air intake duct or throttle body for better visibility and reach.
