Hi,
One of the 2 bolt points on my Idle Control Valve or Air Bypass Valve , according to Haynes manual, is broken. I have found the part at few places online. LRS has a Ford one for $115.00 but also and Aftermarket one for half the price. I'm not a purist but also don't want any problems later. Has anyone else used the low priced one out there or have any info on this. My car has been running fine with no surge problems. Thanks

i've always heard bad things about non-oem iac's.
try rockauto.com for motorcraft IAC'S.
got mine there for a good price.
