Hi
If you did not know, P1518 is bank one Intake Manifold Runner Control stuck open. If you do a forum search on P1518 and or IMRC you will see several good posts on how people resolved their problems and discussion of the function of the IMRC's.
Good luck, let us know how it goes.

If you do want to take a look yourself, its pretty easy to do. You may need a hand mirrow to avoid removing the cowling to see the back linkage.
The actuator is on the "front" top of the engine ...above (kinda) the serpertine belt. The actuator is a black plastic box ... about the size of a can of Spam... of course it has an electrical connector. You can get a pretty fair look at the two linkages and their ends. There should be a total of 4 bushings in place.
If any have fallen out, the linkage is very likely to jam.
They are easy to hang-up if someone is careless around them. But they also fail on their own because their little bushings (Ford calls them "spacers") can fall out when well-cooked.
Take a look and see if the linkages and bushings are all in-place.
