The one on my Mustang has never gone bad but the one on my truck (Ranger) is bad. On my truck, it makes a moaning/blowing in a coke bottle sound, sometimes idles like crap, and the RPM's fluctuate sometimes when I first start it. I just don't want to drop a C-note on one ...
My Mustang sometimes does that howling sound like when you blow over the top of a Coke bottle. It does it only when the engine has fully warmed up and only at idle. It started right when I installed the 75mm Accufab throttle body and plenum.
What in a failing IAC would make it howl like that?
An IAT is only like 10 bucks (if that) ... Autozone is where I got mine. You can also try taking the sensor out and spraying the little diode thing (whatever it's called) with electrical spray cleaner. That or go buy a new one.

Not 10 for a Ford iat and I wouldn't use anything else. The iat mainly controls timing. When its cold it runs more when its hot less. You would probably throw a check engine light and would be down on power.
Um ... I was wrong, it's 13 bucks ... this is what I bought a few years ago and have never had a problem. 'Ford' IAT ..... don't see how it could be better.
