IAC Valve Replacement 04 Ford Ranger 3.0L

In this video I'll show you how I replace an IAC valve on an 04 Ford Ranger 3.0L. This task is as simple as they come. First, you disconnect the negative battery cable from the battery. (not shown in the video). Next, disconnect the sensor. Remove the two bolts that hold the valve to the intake. Remove the valve. Once the valve is removed clean the mating surface. Remove the inlayed rubber gasket with a pick using care not to scratch the mating surface of the intake in the process. Clean the channel where the gasket sits. Install new gasket. Install new IAC valve. Torque the two mounting bolts to specification. (You will need a manual for the specification. In the video I did not use a torque wrench to torque my bolts down. To do it properly I suggest using a torque wrench.) Reconnect the electrical connector until it clicks. Give it a tug afterward to make sure it is secure. Reconnect the negative battery cable. Your done.

Always wear safety glasses and wear gloves. Nitrile gloves are fantastic.
