I got my Explorer a couple of years ago and I have had no problems so far except for a humming noise that I can hear under the hood, mostly while idling. After doing a little bit of research I think that the problem is the Idle Air Control Valve. I have tried cleaning it out about three times, which includes taking off the "cap" and cleaning the filters inside. I even changed the filters just to try and save $50. I think now that I am going to have to buy a new Valve and I was wondering if there is any way to test if that is the problem or not before I buy a new one? I really do not want to spend 50 dollars and it not work. Thanks!
