- 2000 Ford F-150 4.2L V6 Fault Code P1518 IMRC
Intake Manifold Runner Control Stuck Open
In this video I go over the signs and symptoms of the fault code P1518.
I show you where to locate the faulty parts, provide replacement information. And include tips and tricks to make the process go smoother for you. This is the quickest, easiest way to do the job.

UPDATE - The check engine light stayed off and performance returned to normal.
Amazing video. Didn’t think I’d ever be able to get those bushings in without removing the intake manifold . The tape on the finger tip surprising worked with some finesse. Went to the store and got a small mirror also. Sure this took you several hours to figure out but thanks to you got it done in about 2 hours. Great video, much appreciated 👌🏾
U were able to do it without removing the intake? Im impressed!!!! Pretty sure this is my problem as well. All new O2 sensors, plugs, wires....reset codes....dummy light came back on within a few hrs.
Thanks so much for this quality video! I reached in my engine bay and felt for the rod shown to try to put it in the bushing. MIRACULOUSLY I got it in place and fixed it. I’m still in utter disbelief because of the space constraints back there. This video helped me to understand the layout!
My truck is showing this same P1518 code, it hesitates, misses, and has a rattling that sounds like a pushrod, but it sounds like its coming from the right side of engine, left side of engine, and even underneath the truck you hear that rattle. Truck was running fine, I shut it off and when i started it back thats when all this happened. Did yours do the same way with the rattle, hesitation and missing?
The tape on the finger trick was pure genius, otherwise, I couldn't have done it without pulling the intake. Mine's a '98, when they still were using 2 IMRC actuators, left and right, and I couldn't see them from any angle. Ended up getting an inspection camera. Thanks again, awesome video.
Just finished reattaching the linkage. Was a major pain in the butt! I can't understand why Ford would use plastic bushings to hold something that is this hard to get to. I took your advice and used tape(I used duct tape) to hold the bushing onto my single fingertip. The one on the back of the manifold that you can not even see was actually the easiest one to replace. The visible one was more difficult to insert. It took me about 2 hours trying to reattach the linkage. Your video tips were very helpful. Thanks!
they could have put it in front of the engine but no- put it in hard to reach place
Awesome video, to the point, the still shots and the pointers were very helpful. Sometimes, watching these videos can make you dizzy, but yours was well done. Thank you.
Seriously you’re a lifesaver with this video. By chance, was your truck surging at red lights?
I just got the same code this morning. 2001 model and the same milage3 on it as when yours failed. I just hope I can fix t as easy as you did.
I get like 14mpg on mine, it has a fault code for the imrc as well. Maybe this is why!
You saved me a few hundred$$$ thank you
Times like this is when I hate being big and tall. 6'4 360. Tall enough to see it but to big to get my hand back there and get it. I like working on cars too but it kills me to have to take off that intake. And if I don't I'll have to pay like $300 to have someone do it. Something that would be $5 max will end up costing several hundred. No kids either so I can't use that trick.
Get the whole thing ready to go, and hire a neighborhood kid to stick his hands back there and pop the bushing things in there. Pay kid $10.00.
What do you need to reinstall manifold? Just a new gasket?
i cant get the bushing in without them breaking
Vid doesn't really show where bud?u do show engine bay then jump to the bushings??
Thank you for you video, Ive been watching along to fix the same problem, same side. Im trying to get the arm back in, but am struggling and i cant seem to line the motor up vertically. How did you get it to move? Thank you in advance!
I used a screwdriver to push it.. You may wanna use something that won't scratch it.
It takes some force tho so make sure your other hand isn't in the way.
Thanks for watching!
tnx for the video!
Hey man, We are looking to buy this model truck for 3500 bucks. It only has 130000 miles with standard trans and runs good. Would you please say what issues or problems might we run into down the road? Cheap to work on? We're hoping, of course, for another 100000 trouble free miles. whatcha say? Thank you very much
The 4.2 is harder to find parts for than the V8s are. Other than that, countless forums are saying the 4.2 makes a better fleet vehicle because they outlast the V8s by almost double the mileage before crapping out. They have less power, but seem to handle the abuse better. The only problems with the 4.2 were in 97/98, it seems that after those years the engines are bullet proof as long as they're maintained.
Did you get the vehicle? I got experience I’ll share with you if you are interested.
@@Dude13450 I know you wrote this comment ages ago, but what are the issues with the '97-'98s? I bought one last year and it's good to know about what might go wrong
@@ferociousferalferret that I don't know. if its a four cylinder, You would have to look for similar era 240SX issues: same engine.
It is a good video but it doesn't look anything like a 2000 4.2 I have one and it has the plastic intake that one obviously does not and it is a stock intake on that I would venture to say that that is a 4.6 or lower than 2000 model but still a great video man that's pretty helpful in fact I that is actually a 1999 model I just thought you might want to know that
My 2000 model has the aluminum intake
Definitely not a 4.6, as those were 8 cylinders.
Got a 2000 with the aluminum intake as well and need to replace those bushings looks tough as hell to do
what do you mean by turn the motor vertically? how do you turn the imrc motor?
I think he meant the linkage that the rod connects to.
Someone needs to show this guy where to turn up the recording audio level.
Has anyone come up with a way to replace a bushing on the imrc motor without removing the manifold?
billy bristow I did by using a inspection camera and a piece of tape to hold the plastic bushing still tough now I have to take it all apart cause I think the actuator itself is bad
More over engineered better ideas by Ford.
worst vehicles ever...and im a ford guy
Fix your exhaust ha ha
