🔧 Enhance Engine Performance with Motorcraft CX1874 Idle Control Motor Review

Works great. Replaced my broken unit for about half the price at any local store. There is no gasket in the kit but I cut it myself.

Don't buy Auto Zone or Advance Auto branded parts. The original has round holes at the bottom, the fakes have square ones. This causes the air intake assembly to whine. That fixed it immediately.

Ordered for my 1998 Ford F-150 XLT 4.6L Romeo. The truck will idle on a cold start and at times will almost completely stall the engine after it has reached operating temperature. Installation took about 15 minutes. The idle control motor does NOT come with a mounting gasket. I had to buy the gasket separately. The truck starts and runs normally at operating temperature.

Great! In my 2000 Ford Expedition, there was a very annoying and loud whine from the air intake and sometimes the engine stalled at a red light. A google search for both issues points to the IAC valve as one of the possible causes, so I gave that a try. This immediately eliminated the noise and the engine never stalled again. The idle is smoother than before. Very easy to change, perfect fit. I also replaced the gasket (another item). Before purchasing this item I tried (soot) cleaning and…

BUYER ATTENTION! Counterfeit Products! I bought this IAC because it is a Motorcraft part and a Ford genuine part. I ordered one, installed it and within a week the idle started misbehaving. Gain momentum when stopped, very random. If you put it in park, the random idle will fluctuate wildly, hitting 3000 rpm before I cut it out. According to Ford, the part must have either a blue fold-in logo or a Motorcraft stamp, this part does not have either. This is information from Ford about genuine Ford
