Thanks to Digger914, I am researching Air Idle Control modules...and came across some interesting no name brands on ebay and amazon. I was wondering if I could trust those very cheap versions compared to the expensive brand parts...

I had this problem on my 16v. IAC valve went bad, and screwed up the idle big time.

I wouldn't trust the cheap replacements. You can never go wrong with OEM, or quality, name brand replacements like Delphi, Standard or similar. Considering all the trouble it takes to remove ( BOTH of the mounting bolts on mine snapped requiring drilling and re-tapping) is it really worth the little $$ you save by buying cheap?  Also, what is the reliability on the cheap parts?  Ever been left stranded by a cheap part that failed early?  I have, and it cured me once and for all-you really do get what you pay for.

 

My vote is to choose the Delphi.

 

While you're at it, I would also clean the seat where the pintle contacts, and the throttle blades as well. 

Made all the difference in the world in mine.
