Ok start with the basics:
2002 Multiplexed 206 1.6 16v (tu5jp4) - corrected from my original post of s 15v (doh!)
Planet says this is the error I have but I'm lost.

What does it mean and how do I fix it?

I have read somewhere that it relates to the butterfly valve that controls the low engine speed - where the hell is that??

Anyone got a picture of the offending item and know how to resolve the problem?

Thanks

Maybe it means that you've dropped a valve Rolling On The Floor Laughing

Why is this moved to 'solved'?

+1 Warning to the mods from me, now at 2.

My bet is on throttle-pane stepper motor if it's electric TB. Smile

Still not solved I see Laughing

The phrase all the gear & no idea springs to mind, there's no point having diagnostic equipment if you dont know how to use it correctly or what your dealing with Whistle...

I think he touched the butterfly with engine running (possibly cleaning it) and messed-up the stepper position
momentarily while it was holding lock at idling. This threw-up a code which caused the EML to come-on
until the batt was disconnected and idle position for the butterfly was re-learnt, but code is still stored.

It's a lemon-entry my dear Watson..

This is for a Ford, but may be helpful.

Code "P1518 IMRC stuck open" this is one of many codes could mean different things for different auto makers.

IMRC is the intake runner manifold control. They are the secondary butterflys in your intake manifold, sort of like the secondary butterflys on an old 4 barrel carburetor. It should only open at high throttle, 3000 rpm or so. They are showing stuck OPEN all the time.

This code is associated with throttle control in Ford Windstars. One or more of the following actions will need to be performed to fix this situation.

1. The (IMRC) is part of the the intake manifold and will either need to be cleaned or replaced. Excess Carbon is a primary factor in this sensors failure.

2. There may be other contributing factors to causing this sensor to fail. In some models the sensor is attached to vacuum lines. If these lines are leaking (broken or brittle) these lines will leak and cause the sensor to stick open resulting in a (P1518) code. Replacing the vacuum lines, cleaning or replacing the sensor is required to clear this code.

3. On other models there are bushing clips that hold butterfly linkage in place. These bushings can be obtained at parts stores such as OReilys Auto Parts. The O'Reilly part number is 47099. The package says Vacuum Retainers/Bushings.

The vehicle will have to be driven after this repair is made to clear the code from the vehicles computer. This is typically anywhere from 60 to 120 miles.To jump start the reset you can unhook the battery from the vehicle for about 30-45 minutes. If the code does not return immediately (within 10 -15 miles) you are on the right track.

If an inspection is pending the removal of the code from your cars computer, you may have to travel 60-120 miles before this code will permanently clear.
