Keep your engine idling steadily with the Hitachi Astemo Idle Air Control Valve, MPN ABV0018. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 1996-1998 Ford Windstar, taking the place of a worn or failed original idle air control valve.
An idle air control valve meters the air that bypasses the throttle plate when the throttle is closed, allowing the engine management system to regulate idle speed under varying loads such as cold starts, A/C engagement, and accessory demand.
If a failed idle air control valve is the cause of a rough idle, stalling, or surging idle, this valve replaces it; diagnose the underlying cause before installing, since these symptoms can have other sources.
