Hello, First the Service light has to be cleared from the computer by a scanner or by disconnecting the NEG battery cable for 10 minutes. The scanner is a better idea because some radios and antithefts can act up when the NEG connection is open.
If you still have a problem and have the 3.8L V-6 engine for the 2001 year model this engine did not use a manifold runner in a conventional way. The code means on your model, that a plastic part on a runner actuator probably broke and the rod underneath is loose. There is also a repair program for your DPFE which carries a Ford Repair Program number 02m01 and its free. Ask for an OASIS test at a Dealer.
The V-8 models and in later years used a dual channel intake for each cylinder. One part is a constant velocity port and the other channel opens up above 3000RPM. If you have a V-8, get new gaskets, choke cleaner and remove the Intake to clean the runner plates. The plates can stick if they are dirty.
The air bleeder on the 3400 is on the front pass side of the motor. You will see a half inch pipe that crosses from right to left as you stand in front of the car and takes a ninety degree down into the intake. It looks like a little tower. It will have a small bolt on the top, You loosen that and run the vehicle and fill the recovery tank and do it until you see just coolant coming out of the bleeder. It works best if you jack up the pass side a little first. It can take a while to bleed this system though.
