Error code p1518 Mustang runner control

[@theawakenbacon6354]

7 years later and your video still out here helping. Thank you kind sir

[@jimmerlo9826]

Thanks John for taking the time to put this video together. It was a big help. Both Autozone and Advance Auto, probably all the big auto parts stores, sell these bushings. It's part number 47099, Dorman HELP Vacuum Retainers/Bushings. Cost was $3.99 for a package of 5.

[@soccers1awsome]

I know this is a super late reply, but thank you for telling me the part number and where to find it! Extremely helpful!

[@landonernst8964]

I wish they were still that cheap now they are 9.99 which is crazy!! And I get too buy some yayy

[@302KingCobra]

My son was driving back from college for the weekend. Check eng light came on. Pulled codes when he arrived. Googled said code. Watched video. Felt the back of the engine and the rod was hanging down. Thanks for not letting me spend the entire weekend trying to fix this! 👍

[@stevec5657]

I was pulling my hair out because I was losing power above 3,200 RPM and everything (coil pack, plugs, wires, MAF, TPS etc) were checking out fine. In my case I wasn't getting any DTC codes or a CEL. After viewing your video, I looked behind the intake manifold and there it was, the arm was laying down on the lower intake. Bought the Dorman kit, repaired it and now it runs awesome again! Thanks John for the info.

[@TheOriginalGregToo]

Thank you so much for posting this! I had this problem, and COULD NOT find information on it no matter how hard I tried. Really appreciate this!

[@gtrob1]

Thank you so damn much! IDK that I would have ever figured it out without a video, and your's was perfect! To the point, accurate and easy to follow

[@norcoheli]

Thanks buddy... My girl friends 02 mustang had the p1518 code. only the one on the end popped off I was able to get my hand in there without taking off the manifold. Popped in the new bushing slipped in the rod and wall-la. she runs awesome once again. thanks again for posting.

[@felixtinoco6848]

Do you know where I can access this from?

[@bjenks2]

Just bought my daughter this car and it has this same problem. Thanks. Great video!

[@rhondalongoria9490]

OMG.....THANK YOU SO FREAKING MUCH......My daughters exact model and year had the same issue. You are amazing for doing this....now to work. You rock.

[@Tumusica311]

Dorman part # 47099 (vacuum retainer bushings) for the white rods

[@gtrob1]

Thanks! Just ordered some for my Windstar. Looks like I will be lucky enough I won't have to take off the upper intake manifold until I decide to replace the gasket set and bushings.

11 years later and this video is still out here helping

[@SceneKing18]

Thank you John, you have helped me and several others with this error code!

[@birdcat7578]

Thanks man. I was freaking out wondering if I had valves that had gone wrong. I found a video for a 2001 winstar which led me to this video.

[@brettb9601]

Brilliant! The $4 door clip fit perfectly into the empty hole. Thanks!

[@MT-yc7od]

just wanted to say thanks for posting the video. had the code pop up today and with you help was able check it out

[@sams2958]

Thanks bro, I was super worried when my check engine light came on

[@ABCSMOG]

great video. :) i used it to show a customer why it failed the "Smog Check"

[@tommyward5572]

You don't have to take the intake manifold off to fix this. Wait till your engine cools down and you can reach around the back of the engine and put the clips in place. I've done this before and takes about 45 secs

[@rickcicccic7503]

I hope your right..trying today

[@330funny]

@@rickcicccic7503was he right?!? Lol

[@dennisjohnson2912]

I had the exact same problem! Thanks for the video! It helped me a lot.

[@birdcat7578]

So i finally got around to checking mine out. The one that was broken was on the driver side. I was actually able to get my hand in there and replace the part, and push the arm back in. It wasn't horribly easy, but it wasn't too hard.

[@felixtinoco6848]

Can I ask where exactly did you access it from?

[@josephsowers4390]

Awesome video. It helped me with a customer. Good job!

[@liberatogarced3794]

Thanks for your excellent presentation. 👍 and for your help.

[@berniethompson8912]

I did a smoke test and then had smoke coming out back there not sure if it has to do with the Irmc ?

[@stlouismofishing]

Thanks for the help man . This helps me out alot . Great view !

[@domgarcia5705]

Good to know simple and easy thanks for the video

[@BranxD2727]

thx buddy for this video I'm outside the us and i own a 2001 3.8 mustang the thing one of the two rods is not there and went to the ford company they don't have it 😟 i searched for it on eBay and amazon nothing my friend have a workshop he said he can make a substitute if he knows how it looks like and the measurements please if you have it or a link please

[@danbegay3646]

Did some not have those control rods?

[@johnceeancee1252]

Hi, Did you replace that upper intake gasket, or were you able to use the same one? Thanks, John

[@felixtinoco6848]

Great question, should be reviewed

[@bjenks2]

If it wasn't ripped anywhere and it has no vacuum leaks when it's reinstalled and torqued down, it's fine. You can test it by spraying carb cleaner around the gasket. It you have no lean codes or change in idle it's fine. If you want to change it when fixing this issue, now would be a good time.

[@GiotheGhreat]

Dude the right clips are like $8.00 at any local car parts. Thanks for the info, great video.

[@richardkincaid1464]

Exactly what problems could be expected if not corre cted?

[@Clasico_Domingo]

Thanks man great vid two of my where broke

[@brianschueler5088]

How in the world do u get the throttle body off? It looks like I got all the bolts out but something seems to be still holding the tb in place. Also, if the rods and bushings look ok how else wud I test everything to see exactly wats wrong?

[@cesarvilla6589]

Did you ever find out what it was??

[@conniehilburn5725]

Take it off with the upper intake

[@SSSnexus]

This really helped me haha thanks!

[@boldr1131]

great video lots of help thank you

[@VictorandLily2007]

i had code p1516 and p1518 come up is that all that's the problem? i took it to a shop and they said it would cost from around 300 to 500 dollars because they would have to run a full diagnostics

[@Gideon_Judges6]

I am at the same point you are. 3 of the four plastic clips were broken. I had only picked up 2 clips at the dealership because they told me there were only two. Even the parts diagram he printed me out only showed two, the ones on the IMRC control box were not labelled. The driver's side rod was completely disconnected on both ends and was thankfully laying there hung up on a wire harness or hose so I didn't lose it. Anyway, after picking up the right number of clips, I am now wondering how to confirm that the servo is working before I reassemble everything. I should have checked it again before I started. I know that it was working several months ago (notwithstanding that the rods were detached). Does anyone have the pinout so I can test the IMRC box before I button this all up again? It would be a pain to put this together with new clips only to find that the servo no longer works.

[@gutialegre7166]

thanks for this video it was very helpfully

[@tylerdubuque8820]

You can buy a pack of the little white clips there a dorman help part the part number is 40799 i got them on their website
