I LOOKED UP YOURS...I HAD NO ENGINE INFO, SO I LOOKED UP THE 2.0L AND THE 2.4L ENGINES.......THE IAC NUMBERS ARE IDENTICAL...THIS ONE I LINKED TO IS THE 2.0L

THEY ARE VERY SIMILAR IN LOOKS, TO THE WIFE'S.....SHOULD BE IN A SIMILAR LOCATION ALSO.

EVEN AT 600 MILES....MANY TIMES, I HAVE FOUND NEW STUFF TO BE BAD

I'M NOT SAYIN' RUN OUT AND BUY ONE.....YOU MIGHT REMOVE AND CLEAN YOURS...ACTUATE THE PLUNGER, MAYBE IT'S BENT OR SOMETHING STUCK IN IT, PREVENTING FREE MOVEMENT.....IT'S EZ TO REMOVE, INSPECT AND CLEAN IT....A CAN OF "THROTTLE BODY CLEANER" IS INEXPENSIVE, SO IS A GASKET, IF NEEDED.

WHILE IT'S OFF, CLEAN BOTH SIDES OF YOUR THROTTLE PLATE REAL GOOD, AND IN THE HOLE THE IAC WAS ON.

THE PICS I TOOK OF THE WIFE'S REALLY SHOW HOW EZ, AND WHAT THE UNDERSIDE SORTA LOOKS LIKE.......UNDERSTAND...THE PICS ARE OF THE FORD!

THIS IS JUST ONE POSSIBILITY, I PERSONALLY EXPERIENCED...AND CHEAP, TO MAYBE RULE IT OUT!

THIS MAY NOT FIX YOU (I HOPE IT DOES)...RETURN WITH A SMILE, IF I DETECT A FROWN....I WILL FIND YOU ANOTHER EXPERT....I PROMISE!

YOUR TURN,

THE MEDIC
