Take out bolts be careful not to break a gasket if u don't have a replacement and don't lose any bolts also use a toothbrush to clean the little books and crannies

Imrc= intake manifold runner control.

Upper plenum gasket is something like a manifold gasket. The isolator bolts loosen up and it cause the CEL TO come on. V6 4.2L is known for this.
