Genuine Ford Motor/Idle Valve (Explorer)

This is a Brand New Genuine Ford (Motorcraft) Idle Air Valve that installs in minutes using two hex head screws and an electrical connector. It seems to work fine, although I've only had issues with the old one when it was hot. I'll have to wait (until summer) to see if there are any other problems. FYI: I heard others just removed the old idle air control motor and cleaned it thoroughly. It should work correctly again. Looking back at my old one, I find this to be an excellent method of restoring the original idle control valve. It looks like he just needs to clean/remove accumulated dirt, grime and varnish. I just wanted to be safe with the new one. UPDATE 11/18/2012: It's been almost a year now and no problems. I haven't had a single idle/stop problem all summer and this year has been hot. ! This idle/air regulator was definitely the solution to my, albeit minimal, problem (freezing) that I sometimes experienced on very hot days.

Pros
  • Expensive but decent
Cons
  • Durable
