You need the entire IMRC, which is only available from a junkyard at least here in the US.

Ok thanks so much..I was surprised Canadian dealer still had the part..almost everything else for our cars..least up here...is gone...Guess I had better check for junker unit before spending $622 on engine with 300,000 kilomeres

The IMRC controller is the same for all years/models as far as I am aware.

BrApple_ your exactly right _accept this guy in Poland___ claims not SVT engines.As always I feel really luck to have come across the great people that make up Contour.org
With poor health and a bad attitude I was facing a huge bill for OEM part....cclngthr kindly got me started..i realize i need whole unit...then BR jumps in..Thanks ALL!

..anyway......guess i am going out on a limb and order $139 part from Poland seems this guy remanufatures them himself..claims 5 yr life on his cougar.Remanufactured
“100% working and thousands of tests. Remanufactured by my hand” I will get back to members on whether this Polish solution works..thanks all..now into my one man hot tub cus i am aching everywhere after crawling around my car all night...

Technically there is a difference, but it is in the operation of the IMRC. The SVT, IIRC, open sooner when at WOT than the non-SVT. This would be controlled by the PCM, which of course is different.

Thanks Francis..my 99 merc mystique with SVT body kit BAT suspension still thrills me..but sometimes late at night 65 yrs old..I dream of Ford Focus RT I was sitting in yesterday but $57,000 Canadian..and with 340 HP I would prob lose licence in a week...IMRC has already shipped from guy in Poland..a GOOD sign....Never cease to marvel how much dirt collects in our Side Skirt covers.Local garage didn't take them off to lift my car..crushed the paint...complained of my car being so low..gd gd gd....Found some clear body guard sheets by 3M at body shop works perfectly to make sure Side Skirt covers stay in place and it can barely be noticed...If anybody knows a Canadian..or an American member visiting Canada...I will give away two brand new Duraflex side skirts i bought before going OEM I am near Ottawa Canada Another "benefit" of getting old..can only change two snow tires at a time...to cheap to give money to Canadian Tire to change them
