What is it?
Intake manifold runner control is an engine management component that is found on newer intake manifold designs. It is usually a motorized or vacuum actuated unit attached to the intake manifold, that controls the opening and closing of butterfly valves inside of the intake manifold runners. The unit will open and close the butterfly valves in order to provide maximum manifold pressure and flow at all engine speeds.
While an intake manifold runner is not necessary for engine operation, it does provide the engine with increased performance and efficiency, particularly at low engine speeds. When it fails, it can leave the engine without the increased performance, and in some cases even reduce performance. Usually a faulty IMRC will produce a few symptoms that can alert the driver of a potential issue.
Symptoms of a Bad or Failing Intake Manifold Runner Control:Difficulty starting the engine;Engine misfires and decrease in power, acceleration, and fuel economy;Check Engine Light comes on.

How to Replace an Intake Manifold Runner Control?
Locate the IMRC.
You can find it on your engine. It may be necessary to remove a few plastic covers before you see it. Often, it’s bolted directly to the top of the intake manifold or at one end or the other. Sometimes it is bolted in a remote location, like the valve cover, and will use a cable connection to the intake flaps.
Disconnect the IMRC.
If you can, disconnect the vacuum lines and electrical connections while the IMRC is still bolted down.
It’s just easier to manipulate those connections when the device isn’t flopping around loose.
Replace the IMRC.
Remove any clips from the linkages and unbolt the IMRC from the engine.Sometimes the link will have an S shape to the end that makes it necessary to move the IMRC around to wiggle the link out of the actuating arm. Connect the linkages, bolt it down and hook it up. Reinstall any covers or other parts that you had to remove to get access to the part.

A fraction of the cost of what a shop would charge you. If you are a mechanic or are very good with vehicles, this was a high quality product.

Fast delivery. Easy installation. Check how to install from YouTube and ne careful to drop bolts. Bolts was loose and one was almost open. So old part was not stuck, but did not get touch from engine, because loose bolts. Old part was also worn and did not want to check would it work.

Husband had to send the 1st one he bought back to Amazon, it didn't work right. So far, the 2nd one is working like it should. Amazon swapped the 1st one for a new one with no problems and no hassles! Thank you!

This part has not been put to the full durability test by me yet, As I have had same unit go bad after a a little over 1.5 years by another manufacturer, with that said, I am very grateful of the cost efficiency of this product compared to my local part suppliers who ridiculously has an outrageous inflated price from the last one i purchased.So, if this unit holds up well, I will return to give a Straight-Up 5 Star rating.. It is working very well currently, and did remove the OBDII code for the runner valves for which this unit controls.

I own a Dodge Avenger model car and have had a continually reoccurring error show up as something like "Intake Manifold Error" basically the sensor/controller/switch that opens and shuts the flaps on engine to let air in and out had gone bad. One of the auto shops I visit frequently for oil changes gave me some shop talk which sounded like an up sale tactic to me about the part costing $80+ and install being a decently priced labor fee. Well doing some research into I found the install was a lot simpler than they made it seem and for convenience I order this part new online. Got it fairly quickly and found some friends with better tools than myself to help install it easily. If you have the tools and the time you can save yourself a lot money doing things this way.
