That is the motor that drives the Dual Stage Intake ("DSI" for those that just have to use abreviations) runners. It is connected to the intake manifold by a cable. Either the motor is dying or the cable is broken and the motor is trying to pull on a broken cable. Take it to the dealer and let Ford by another one!!!

...or, as some of us like to say, it's the IMRC actuator

Yep, thats your INTAKE MANIFOLD RUNNER CONTROL unit.. IMRC.
This means that the DSI cable has been broken for awhile and the motor finally gave out.
Wait till you have it replaced, you will be shocked at how much power you have been going without!
