its probably talking about the IMRC (Intake Manifold Runner Control). Its that silver box on the front valve cover that opens the secondaries. Sounds like your IMRC is broken and its time for a new one.

yes, they are located in the secondary ports in the lower intake manifold. They should open at 3,200 rpms or 3,700 rpms depending whether your cruising or at wide open throttle. Can you see the linkage moving when you rev the engine from the throttle body?

No, the 02 codes and IMRC are completely unrelated. Having the car get louder is normal, since the carbon build up is removed and the engine can pull in more CFM.

Do you have the code #s off hand?
