04 Explorer 4.0 XLT IAC question....

[Mr_Fruffles]

I ordered an new IAC (throwing parts at rough idle) and this is what was sent to me but for the life of me I can't figure out where it goes. I changed the IAC on my 2000 mustang without a problem but this has me baffled. If this fits, where the hell does it go?

   • IIRC, 2004 and newer Explorer's use electronic throttle control (throttle-by-wire) for both engines.
     
     Very common question is "Where's my IAC?" usually asked in the 2002-05 Gen 3 sub forum. LOL

And regardless of what the usually very accurate RockAuto site says, your 2004 DOES NOT have an external IAC valve.
