I just got a 97 E-250 with a 5.4L. I am working on a no idle issue (runs great). While I was cleaning the IAC, I noticed that it appeared that the passenger rear corner of the intake looks to be broken off. The area is dry, no fluids around the area. Is this normal on these engines? I hesitate to ask since it looks obviously broke to me, but the left part is nicely rounded as from a mold, clean edges. It almost looks like it is the wrong intake.
I checked and there doesn't seem to be any air coming or going from those holes. Also, there is aluminum crust that leads me to believe that it has been uncovered for a long time. Could there be a cover missing?
As far as I know, this is the original intake on this engine. 197K miles, no signs of removal.

Broken Intake?
