Can you get a IAC at a autozone or napa auto parts or do you have to go to a ford dealership?

Mike
yeah for like $50...Last i heard Ford is charging $100...i paid $35 from Ford in 99 but since they started failing on everyones car the demand went up and so did the price....justlike the intakes and chin spoilers. Ford makes a faulty part then raises the price on you.
Yeah I picked mine up at autozone for $52 it was about $60 with taxes. I know that it is the right replacement part but the internals, or at least what you can see through the little holes dont look the same. The most notable differance is there is no spring visible while the oem one has one?? Mine was so filthy it was hard to even see inside it because of all the carbon.

Def was the IAC. I advise against cleaning it, it's only a temporary band-aid if it actually works.

AHAAAAAA the old fluctuating idle syndrome otherwise known as surging. Seems like as soon as it starts to get cold everyone starts surging lol. Tune it and change the iac if that dont work beat the crap outa it and get some carbon out. Wait do that the other way around. Beat the carbon out first. You been babyin that car?


Hahahahah. Babying cars FTL.

I somewhat cleaned it a month ago and I think it may have helped alittle. I thoroughly cleaned it today, and it just made it worse. Have any guys ever had this problem??

Just buy a new one.... you probably clogged it up more by trying to clean it.
