Quick facts

- Fits: 2000 Ford Taurus V6 3.0L and other vehicles

- Condition: New
A failing idle air control valve, also listed as a throttle air bypass valve, can show up as erratic idle speed, stalling, hard starting or an illuminated check engine light. Those symptoms have more than one possible source, so with the engine off and cool, look over the valve's connector, its terminals and the throttle body passage for damage, a loose fit or buildup before you replace it.
