DTC P1537 - Intake Manifold Runner Control Stuck Open Bank 1 and 2

It controls the length and speed of incoming air for a certain engine rpm to optimize swirl, efficiency, and minimize knocking. It's long and fast for low rpm and idle, short and large volume for higher engine loads. How's your truck running? I'm guessing it would be lean at idle if it's stuck open. I would look at your vacuum lines on the intake manifold. I think it would be vacuum operated.

Keep in mind that the IMRC Valves are located on the back of the intake and are listed as an item that the dealer needs to diagnose and repair.

Hope this helps.

Firing order diagram for v8 ford ranger F 250

anon post no history of car wow NO YEAR> no VIN.
It is no RANGER or is custom none OEM swap job.

. nor what is wrong, (cam changes or spark wires fell off)
no engine told at all (USA car?) (in liters or Cubic Inches)
the service manual covers that.
if you google Ford year ranger or F250 (engine size) firing order
bingo,
The F-nnn series goes back to 1973 and over 15 engines +++

but RANGER is a compact truck and is not F250 at all
V8 not found in RANGERS. (promised but not delivered)

(1983-2012) some are MAZDA's what ford calls trucks outside USA, I've no clue. are you?
just this

F250 Ranger does not ADD up. (big + small)????'

or is really just an F250 pickup 1948 to present,
the wiki, huge list of trucks and engines, vast

googled (note VIN codes told)

https://search.brave.com/search?q=+ford++F250+2000+5.4L+v8+++firing+order.&source=web

What is the specific ignition control module number for a 4-cylinder, 2.3 liter Ford Ranger?

I recommened only the factory part for this. You can buy it from most full service part stores and not just the Ford dealer. The part is
MOTORCRAFT Part # DY959 [ICM] (Ignition control module) $176.79
You can also mail order it from a site I use called rockauto.com the price given above is from that site.

Code p1537 foe a 2002 ford ranger 2.3 engine

P1537 - Intake Manifold Runner Control Stuck Open.

You might want to look at the IMRC valve. It is probably sticking from carbon build up? Use top engine cleaner and clean the air plenum.

Once you have done this clear the codes and go for a ride. About 30 miles should do it. If you have anymore codes it will come back up.
