where can you buy a 1999 Cougar V6 IACV
- Thread starter Procomm
- Start date
My IACV is disconnected as in unplugged, not removed as in a massive leak in the inlet manifold. Its closed so is serving the function of blanking off the hole. If I connect the electrical connection the engine races, I did post on the subject some months ago, but it faded out without an answer.
So I don't have a rather big problem, I have a small problem who's long term consequences appear to me to be to be of no consequence. But I'm willing to be educated which is why I'm here.
I have to be honest, aside from permanently having a fault code I don't know what the result of not having a working iacv will do
I must agree that when I disconnect the electrical connection to the IAVC that the engine sounds a load better, but after 5 seconds it sputters and dies
The moose is dead!!
Ordered this part from the USA http://pages.ebay.com/motors/link/?nav=item.view&id=181810928323&alt=web
Swapped over this morning and problem solved, no more shame at traffic lights and the engine generally seems to be smoother now
Note the spring
And the box

Glad It's sorted Dan. Next time it fails disconnect the electrical side so the IACV is closed then practice your heel n tor for your first five mins of your journey.
I find it kind of satisfying.

you would need to ensure that you disconnect the iacv electrical connector when the engine has warmed up for it to remain in a closed state
