The ford dealer sells the little plastic clips 4 for $20.00. Go to the parts dept. and talk to the counter guy. Tell him what you need, don't talk to the service guy, he wants to sell you service not parts. Good luck.

This on e should be easy! I can see exactly what the problem is.
The linkage going between the control module and the bank 1 came off and little plastic doodad clip/keeper is gone!
This IRMC control was replaced a year ago and is not in warranty.
The dealer says they need to replace both the control and the butterfly assembly at a cost of $950 
Ok so I am not even wanting to go there. I use this wonderful forum to locate what the problem is and a thread directs me to look at the linkages. I see one is not connected. The little plastic connector is missing where it connects to bank 1. The bank 1 butterfly rod moves freely and appears happy. I am thinking replace the plastic connector!
Another dealer takes a look and dig this. The dealer says they need to replace the entire IMRC control unit again at a whopping cost of $400.
They say that I can't buy the little 25 cent plastic connector and the only way to is to replace the unit! 
Someone PLEASE tell me that Ford is not that lame. 
Where can I buy the connector?
