Default ST170 engine management?

eml came on, had a read and got these:
believe the imrc is a common fault! can it be fixed or is a new unit needed ?
had a quick goggle of the others seems to all be intake related! hate it when the cars not running just right! 👎 anyone experienced similar faults/codes?

P0181 - fuel temp sensor circuit a range performance

P0761 shift solenoid c performance or stuck off

P1518 - intake manifold runner control stick open (bank 1) (see p2004)

If you reset the codes do they come back?

When you turn the ignition on the imrc will pull on the cable and open/close the flap. Get someone to switch the ignition on and see if you can see this happening.

You can take the imrc box apart and clean the electrical connections with some sand paper. A finger nail file is ideal.
