Default Focus ST170 intake manifold prob???

Error code on my ECU saying intake manifold - runner control stuck closed.

I guess this is some 2 position flap on the intake manifold - can anyone show me where it is and how to check if it works?

Cheers muchos

I was just doing armchair research as i though this was a common fault.

Read the codes again this afternoon and its not back so all good. I know it has stuck before so maybe just a little one off

theres a control unit that operates a cable which opens & closes the flaps inside the inlet tracts.
