Specs At A Glance

Good To Know

Q: Will this valve fix a rough idle? A: It can when idle trouble traces to a sticking or clogged idle air control valve, but unrelated faults such as vacuum leaks may need separate repair. Confirm the valve is the cause before ordering.

Q: Does it come with a gasket? A: Check the listing photos and contents before buying, since some idle air control valves ship with mounting hardware or a gasket and others do not.

Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
