Where is the IAC on a Festiva?

[watermellon]

My 93 festiva tends to have a low idle whenever I stop the car. I sometimes have to rev it up a bit to stop it from stalling. I've been told it could be a dirty idle air control valve. I searched through my Haynes manual and it doesn't even mention an IAC valve. Does it have one? Or is it called something else in the manual? I would like to clean it (if the car has one) because that might help the low idle problem. I've never seen or cleaned one before, so if anyone has any tips on how to do it, I'd greatly appreciate your help.

Also I've been reading a few threads and I've come across the acronym VAF. I'm not sure what that is, because it too is not mentioned in my Haynes manual. I even tried googling it and nothing came up. Is the VAF the same thing as a MAF?

..This thread is being moved out of the Ranger sub forum and to a place it will be more appreciated..

..It appears that the 1993 Festiva does have a Idle Air Control Valve..for a bunch of money though..

..and that's all I could quickly find..It should be easier to now locate the part under the hood..

..I did however find this paperclip test for your codes on your vehicle though and the page also gives some other information to what could be making your Festiva stall..

Your thread was moved into the Ford/Lincoln/Mercury section. Which engine do you have?

My '93 fesitva has a 1.3 litre engine that's fuel injected.

Try to clean the IAC before you replace it.
