Will be installing a new IAC valve tomo. Anything I should know before I get into her? Should be a simple swap, no?

Don't strip any heads.
Mark everything with masking tape before removing. You never know when you'll get interrupted and forget what went where, no matter how simple a task.

THAT'S what I like to hear.
Thx for the tip on masking tape, but in theory this should only be a 15 minute job...

That should always be a safety measure anyway, no matter what you're doing under the hood (except oil changes and really simple stuff).
Installed the new IAC this morning. Omg the difference is night and day. My idle never dropped below 700 the entire ride. I should have done this months ago. Well worth the $70.

They used to be around $40 from Autozone.

I would get the Ford part and pay the extra $30 for the peace of mind. Its not like its a part that you replace every 3000 miles.
Very true. I thought he was saying the part from Autozone was the EXACT brand and everything that I just bought from Ford.
I bought mine from ford for 37.50 just a few years ago. Just like every other part ford makes that has problems...they jack up the replacement after everyone needs it.
