Hey Daffy, I hear you on the marrk up...it's just that when you know you could've got it cheaper, it kind of burns, you know. They tapped me for a half hour labor, so that part was right (they made it up on something more routine though). note to self...consult forum early, and DO IT YOURSELF...

Well, as I think I've been rolled (to a degree), I kind of do mind telling you how much they got me for. :banghead: Lets just say I figured that on the part, they hit me for an almost 50% mark up and that was on the most expensive one I could find on the net (that is the IAC valve itself)...

It IS a motor or it isn't...you guys got me all befuddled here (like I wasn't to begin with). I'll take a look when I get home this evening to see if anything new looking in the vicinity of the IAC valve per the pic (thanks for that!), and I'll let you know. The other thing is, would the...

Well...I ended up going to a shop and having them look at it, but now I'm puzzled. Apparently they said the TVG2 Idle Air Control Motor was shot (but under the labor section they listed the work as remove and replace IAC Valve). So I'm now asking, is there such a thing as an Idle Air Control...

Ok, got it...now I wonder if posted my issue in the right place?

I recently had some work done on the "wagon" (98 Explorer Sport). Replaced the serpentine belt (for the second time in 6 weeks...wrong size the first time). New altenator & brakes). All was good in my Explorer world...for a week! Day after Turkey Day...no heat. This morning...no idle...

A quick question, why is machoillescu's post in the wrong forum (I ask because I was about to post here about my '98 Explorer problem). The forum IS Stock 95-01 Explorer, right? I'll hold off until I hear back

Not sure this is the final chapter but here goes... I pretty much left the truck sitting for the best part of two months (I was away on vacation for nearly half that time, so it was going to sit for awhile anyway). There were a couple of weekends where I started it up and took it either...

Thanks for the feedback guys...I'm going to get at it when I get back from vacation (although i did try the easy method...disconnected the battery...to no avail, the low 4x4 light was still on, I didn't drive it though, afraid I might make things worse). I'll let you know how I make out...

Heading home July 4th evening, I was slipping and sliding in a downpour on the highway, so I switched to "hi 4 x 4" (not sure how fast I was going, but probably too fast for that manuever). Everything was cool, until I was exiting the highway, and decided to switch back to the "auto". Again, I...

I've scoured some of the archives in the past, but never actually thought to join...but here I am. I hope when help is needed I can find it...or give it (though I'm far from an expert, I may at the very least be able to sympathise with those having problems...and marvel at those who are doing...
