2002 mazda b2300 IMRV clatter

[joseph0002]

It has no CEL on and the noise seems to stop around 1500 rpm. I believe it to be the imrv system. Any ideas on which of the 3 parts it is? the valves themselves? the actuator? or the imrc? as you can see in the video when i remove the imrc vaccum hose it disappears instantly.

It's likely the actuator. It usually is anyway

any idea where you can buy them? ive checked with rock auto and the big three parts stores. they just gave me a blank look

To be honest they can be a PITA to find. Dealer which maybe special order or try a junk yard. Most parts houses wont have it.

Im still looking for one that goes to a customers lincoln that was only made for 1 year. Now ford has discontinued the part

Try looking it up for a 2002 Ranger on fordparts.com. That's Ford's own parts website. If the parts are available at any Ford dealer, you can order them and have them shipped to you. If not, at the very least you will have part numbers to search for on Google.
