## Questions & Answers

**Q: No gasket included, i assume i can re-use my old rubber figure "8" shaped existing gasket???**
A: Yes. Reuse the old one. I've done that a few times. Works every time.

**Q: Will this work for 02 Mazda B 3000**
A: If you know someone with a 02 to 05 ford Taurus you can take theirs off and look at it you will know.   Takes about 2 minutes to take off.  Don't loose the the screws!

**Q: does this motorcraft cx1946 idle control valve fit the ford taurus 2002**
A: I do not know, I would look up the 2002 part number and see if it is the same as this one. My car was a 2006, this unit did work. I do know that these are different for many models so do not buy it until you can confirm.

**Q: Does this have a spring inside? Because my oem doesn’t have it.**
A: I can't recall, but I don't believe so. Just an FYI, although the add claims it's OEM, it is not. You have to go to the dealership if you want true OEM.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Replacement OEM Idle Air Control Solves Intermittent Idle Problem
*by C***R on May 22, 2024*

This part is a choice replacement for Idle Air Control on 2003 Ford Taurus with 637,753 miles. Original part lasted for most of this run-time. On hot days with multiple short trips, engine wouldn't idle at startup. Had to cool the part and clean carbon from the valve to start and idle the engine. Aftermarket part from Napa was okay for a short time, but produced high idle at startup (cold or hot engine), surge and high idle with vehicle stopped (closed throttle) after a long drive on a hot day. Fuel economy was also less with the aftermarket part. This new OEM part restored reliable start and idle on hot days, improved fuel economy and restored smooth shifts and downshifts. Note this vehicle consistently gets 23-25 mpg in combined freeway, mountain, and city driving with 500 miles/week commuting and errands. I've used Motorcraft synthetic blend 5W-20 and 5W-30 oil with 3000-5000 mile change intervals, for my tour of ownership starting at about 51,700 miles.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 2003 Ranger Edge 3.0.  Connector not in OEM position, but works fine - solved A/C issue at idle
*by M***T on March 30, 2019*

Part installed on 2003 Ford Ranger Edge, 3.0 flex fuel engine, 2WD. Had issue where engine rpms dropped at idle once A/C cycled on, thereby telling ECM to shut off A/C compressor to prevent an engine stall issue. Replacing this cleared up that issue.I had previously purchased non-OEM IAC's, but returned because connector orientation was so far off, my wiring harness wouldn't reach. Not a lot of slack with that. This had same issue, but not to the extent of the others.OEM AIC connector was at the 6 o'clock position. Part I received had it at 3 o'clock. Wiring harness connected reached - just had to run the wires to the inside of the throttle position senson (sits below this part) rather than over the outside like it was before. Would have preferred an exact match, but at least it works.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good part... good price
*by B***. on March 9, 2021*

This part solved my issue in a snap. I don't understand why it says it's not the correct part for a Mercury Sable gs 3.0l because everywhere else I looked for it, it states that this is the correct part and when I installed it in my Mercury, it fit and is working great.
