Smooth out a rough, hunting idle with the Standard Ignition Idle Air Control Valve AC286. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 1999-2000 Ford Windstar, metering the amount of air that bypasses the closed throttle plate so the engine's control module can hold a steady idle speed during warm-up, at stops, and under changing electrical and mechanical loads.

  • Idle-speed control: regulates bypass air around the throttle plate to help keep idle stable across engine temperatures and accessory loads.
  • Direct-fit application: designed to replace the original idle air control valve on the listed vehicle.
  • Signs the valve may need replacing: rough or surging idle, stalling at stops, and an idle speed that sits too high or too low. Diagnose the cause first, since these symptoms can have other sources.

If a failed idle air control valve is the cause of your idle trouble, this AC286 replaces it and restores the intended bypass-air path.
