Default IMRC broke!! $$$$$$$$$



Hey guys, im a noobie here.
I was just told that my IMRC (intake manifold runner control) vacuum actuator valve is broken (like someone did it on purpose).

Can a wise wrench point me to where I can buy this part without selling the kids??

P.S. I got fired at 10:41pm last night, I wonder whats next...

You need to be more detailed in your explanation, What Motor???? If i think i know what your talking about this is part of your evaporate , system what it does i think is control cold running fuel-air mixture and helps engine warm up, basically controls engine warm up , did u say u had the vacuum vale? because some have a bi metal vale, get a new vavle thats whats probably bad, u better know what your doing if you do it yourself, other wise get help, also u can test the vavle, engine running , will be HOT , could possibly be stuck, some penitrating oil could actually free it up. good luck,,
