Does the intake manifold system on this car have ONE or TWO intake manifold runner control valve ACTUATORS?

Check engine light's on, throwing a P2004 code: "Intake Manifold Runner Control Valve stuck Open Bank 1." Additional code previously thrown was P2008... it's believe the problem malfunction with a sensor in the system's Actuator. The engine has 2 IMRCV switches...one of which was replaced in an attempt to solve the problem. With TWO IMRCV switches, would I be right to assume that there are also TWO actuators?

I'm eager to fixthe problem. Please let me know your thoughts. :)) thanks, jenni j.

check items in pic like a sticking or binding of throttle plate so clean that on both sides with choke cleaner and iac hole then check everything except pcm . there is an intake runner control and intake swirl control. also check for a vacuum leak to actuators or on engine. one pic explains how it works it's for a ranger but similar on your car also make sure no grommets on engine are leaking inother words no air or vacuum leaks.

Thanks again for your continued support. Not being a mechanic, it's all a bit over my head. Is it possible that simply replacing the Actuator, the Intake Manifold Relay Control Valve Actuator, will fix the problem?
