quick IAC question

[blkstangman88]

should i get a ford original IAC or the WELLS IAC from autozone? and im going to make a new gasket to reduce my "hangtime", so what size hole would u guys recommend?

 

[DropTopPony]

whats the price difference? I'd say go with the Ford part if the price is close. Don't know about the hole size...never had the idle issue thankfully. Look on that hanging rpm thread for that info. It was just on the main page a day or 2 ago so it shouldn't be hard to find.

 

[blkstangman88]

ford is about $100 and autozone is about $50

The smaller hole starts out at 9/32" and you can enlarge it from there if needed.

I have the autozone one, with a 9/32 hole restricter plate on it. no problems

The autozone one can't be any worse than the Ford IAC, I have found I have to change mine about every 40,000 miles, although the current one is at 50,000 and still going.

Email [email protected] for an IAC Restrictor Plate. I've been buying stuff from this guy (Jerry) for a while & the quality/prices are tough to beat.

Damn 100 dollars now!!!! I paid 35 for mine @ 2000 when mine failed and i remember someone posting they paid 70 a few months ago. Fords makes a crap products then jacks up the price cause of the demand.

I purchased mine from www.50resto.com for like $75 it is a motorcraft one. I need to put one of those restrictors on it though.

I agree about the IAC being a p.o.s., however, instead of buying a new one, clean it out with brake cleaner & reuse, it works fine & its free.

 

[squares98]

they are new at ford for $55, why go somewhere else?

 

[kstng50]

just called my local dealership and they wanted $108 for it. Since it seems like they are built like crap i think i will just go with the wells one from auto zone for $50.

I agonized over this very question just last week and due to the fact that Wells sucks, I bought the Motorcraft IAC. I even made a poll on it but I am too lazy to link it...

But in this case, so does the ford part. My autozone IAC has lasted two years so far, which is about twice what the first one I bought lasted which was a MotorCraft IAC. I am all about MotorCraft Filters & parts, but in this case for half the price and equal or better reliability, I'd have to say go with the autozone part.

Its a tough decision, indeed...

I just bought a new one from Ford for $72 and does anyone elses not have the plastic cap built into it? The old one had one and the new one doesn't

 

[Kilgore Trout]

My new one had the black plastic cap. What is the part# of the part you got? I suspect Ford updated the part and I got the old part
