New to HPTuners. Searched on here and found several threads about the 2018 intake manifold swap on a prior-year s550, but most describe what it takes to adjust the tune with IMRC locked out. I want to keep IMRC.
I've made the appropriate open/closed voltage adjustments, and verified that all vac connections are correct per the Lund writeup. Used "true" PnP CMCV adapter harness from VMP. I'm using the IMRC and SD tables from a 2018 (except for IMRC config, where the MPs are assigned the same values as the 2015 but in reverse order (26 to 0 instead of 0 to 26).
What'll happen is the IMRC will work properly for a couple pulls then stop working. By stop working, I mean it will remain at closed voltage (1.45v) at all times and the car feels like a pig under load (long runner config). Often when it stops working it will pull IMRC closed in the middle of a pull, then throw a "stuck closed" code shortly thereafter (P2006/2007).
After disabling those DTCs the IMRC seems to function properly and will keep working through multiple pulls without crapping out. This seems like more of a hack than a true fix, as I have to imagine there's a way for IMRC to work properly in this application while keeping DTC functionality.
Any ideas on what could be causing IMRC to work for a bit then decide to quit working? Could I be bumping up against some other limits causing ECU to shut off IMRC functionality? Maybe the voltages are just outside of range and it's tripping things up?

Thanks in advance.
