So my new engine is throwing a p2006 code. Took it back to the shop that installed everything and basically said it's my problem. 500 dollar fix. Not happening.

So can anybody explain what's going on? How can I fix this cheap? The truck is a total dog. It's like driving my 1993 2.3 ranger :,(

 

I believe the part is around 110$ not sure how hard it is to replace though. You can search for more info. Good luck!

I found this about that code and fix;
Intake Manifold Runner Control (IMRC) - Car Forums and Automotive Chat

View topic - 2004 F-150 5.4l 4x4 Error Code-P2006 Intake Manifold Runner - Ford F150 Forum

Usually with this code it is a bad intake manifold runner control which is located on the back of the intake, and requires removal of the intake manifold to access. check the wiring from the PCM to the back of the intake when the intake is off looking for any chaffed wiring, also when you take the manifold off check and make sure that the rods for the intake manifold runners weren't contacting anything allowing them to bind. If that all looks good you will need to replace the runner control motor assembly. Keep in mind when installing it DO NOT move the actuator by hand any more than needed to get the rods on, this can damage it.

A thread from 5 years ago; https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/5...-acuators.html
Another source gave me this; need to inspect the IMRC actuator at the intake to ensure the actuating rods are still attached, there is a plastic clip that breaks and will set this code, Ford part #F5RZ9F955AB IMRC actuator rod retainers

Sorry, I guess it was $110 for the dealership to fix that clip. $500 to replace the whole part, 2 new gaskets and some labor.
