Quick facts
- Part: Standard Ignition AC280 idle air control valve
- Fits: 2001-2003 Toyota Highlander V6 3.0L and other vehicles
- Condition: New
A rough or hunting idle, stalling when you stop, or an idle speed that sits too high or too low can mean the valve is worn. A vacuum leak, a dirty throttle body or a throttle position sensor can produce those same symptoms, so work out which one you are dealing with before buying a valve.
