P1537 relates to an Intake Manifold Runner Control stuck in Open. Is there someway to fix this?
A common problem on Windstars, there are two IMRC valves, the only way to fix them is replacement, which is not that hard. They are mounted on the end of the intake manifold and control runner length. There is a front and rear one, I'm not sure which one this is but you'll probably have to go to Ford to buy it and they should be able to tell you with the code number. The problem will not affect driveability that much, but if you have emissions testing at your location, this will likely cause it to fail.
Hi. Before you replace IMRC actuator make sure that they are connected and secured to the seliniod arms. Mine came off. Five bucks at the wreckers and it was problem solved.
