No need, the code is correct

Wow, genius!
Best idea yet!!
Pp2000 is a proper reader (#facepalm)
#18: Re: ECU error P1518 inlet manifold runner control Author: Seabook, Posted: Thu Oct 04, 2012 10:26 am ---- if you use PP2000 you should be able to tell what's wrong with it, just follow the step by step trouble shooting
#19: Re: ECU error P1518 inlet manifold runner control Author: MrBSI, Location: What's it to you? ? ?Posted: Thu Oct 04, 2012 10:29 am ---- Any EOBD code reader is easily good enough for this fault
We already have the fault code, there's another clue stuck under the bonnet in the engine compartment, you just have to find it

Thats what I would have expected, however it just said "no further information" or words to that effect - no help really !
#21: Re: ECU error P1518 inlet manifold runner control Author: MrBSI, Location: What's it to you? ? ?Posted: Fri Oct 05, 2012 11:55 am ---- Post a picture up of the complete engine compartment & ill give you a clue where you need to look for the answer.
#22: Re: ECU error P1518 inlet manifold runner control Author: Golfguy206, Location: PeterboroughPosted: Fri Oct 12, 2012 9:31 am ---- Just before I go do that, allow me to explain what I understand so far.
I have read somewhere that it has something to do with an idle speed air inlet valve or something (not sure if this is accurate concearning the 206)
All i need is someone to let me know where tollok for the "defective" part or how to fix it.
Any one else help with this??
#23: Re: ECU error P1518 inlet manifold runner control Author: macca1411, Location: Westhoughton, LancashirePosted: Fri Oct 12, 2012 10:26 am ---- I thought this would have been solved by now.
I'd offer MrBSI a gift via paypal for his advice and just get the problem sorted. I'm sure it will be cheaper than throwing everything at it or taking it to a garage.
#24: Re: ECU error P1518 inlet manifold runner control Author: chuckstar34, Location: London/Worcester/ GrimsbyPosted: Fri Oct 12, 2012 10:26 am ---- Can I ask what problem you have to need a ecu read?? It sound like the throttle ensor not play the game.

So you didnt bother to read my post above?
Im out, good luck solving this one as it looks like no sod on here actually knows the correct answer

#27: Re: ECU error P1518 inlet manifold runner control Author: Golfguy206, Location: PeterboroughPosted: Wed Oct 24, 2012 7:35 am ---- Not as yet. Feel free to chime in if you like...
#28: Re: ECU error P1518 inlet manifold runner control Author: Golfguy206, Location: PeterboroughPosted: Thu Dec 20, 2012 7:59 am ---- clearly no one wants to help - thanks guys!

Not everyone but someone
This engine uses a split intake runner for each cylinder. It has a long skinny runner for low RPM use and a short fat passage for high RPM use. The IMRC is a system to control the secondary "butterflies" in the intake manifold.
When the engine is started the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) sends a command to the IMRC actuator to close the "butterflies". Above 3500 RPMs, the PCM takes the command away and the butterflies open, using spring pressure. The actuator has a position sensor inside that tells the PCM if the IRCM actuator reacted correctly. The P1518 code means that when the PCM commanded the butterflies closed, it didn't see them move.
While watching the IMRC Linkage, start the engine and watch for movement. If there is no movement, remove the upper intake to gain access to the lower intake. Check the IMRC shafts for carbon or other reasons for the system to stick. Grab the shafts and try to move them manually.

Have you solved that issue? I have the same problem and I can't find any fix for it.
