Review on Motorcraft CX1759 Idle Control Motor by Kofi Wills

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Easy to install, lubricate the needle. Highly recommended.

Easy install on Ford Focus SOHC. There were no seals in the kit, but the box was in bad shape, it could fall out. UPDATE 7/2/2017: Worked fine for a while. The engine starts and idles fine, then when I get to my destination and park it for about 30 minutes the engine starts fine but wants to shut down when I stop. Then, after a few kilometers at a traffic light, it idles again. I have ordered a different brand and will be fitting it, the Motorcraft part may need lubricating. I will update again. UPDATE: 2017-02-10: Removed Motorcraft CX1759 and added three drops of Graphite Lock-Ease (available from Revain) to the pin. I installed the IAC and now it increases idle when the AC is turned on and doesn't jump idle after warming up. I see other cars, Honda, Saab, BMW etc have the same issue and regular IAC cleaning and lubrication keeps them running. I will do this every two months. The liquid in the fat evaporates, leaving some graphite. I would buy this again as non-genuine brands don't work properly and that's from experience.
