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.

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

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 plenum1@sbcglobal.net 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 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.

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.

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
