Hi there..

I was wondering if someone could please confirm the correct procedure for replacing the idle speed control motor on a ED 6cyl engine..

Is it just a matter of remove and replace or do you need to reset something as well?

Also, I found them on ebay for approx $142 incl ship..

Apart from Genuine Ford has anyone found them elsewhere cheaper?

Many thanks in advance

Just take out the two bolts holding it on and unplug it. Maybe replace the gasket if it needs it.

Thats all there is to it.

mate thats probs the best your going to get. ford will charge an arm and a leg. i paid 120 off ebay a while back. it is exactly the same as the genuine ford unit apart from there is no ford stamped on it. remove the wiring loom plugs. there are to 8 mm screws either side of the unit (where 2 holes are) undo them, there will be a gasket under it remove the gasket some maybe left behind remove all stuck gasket with throttle body cleaner ect. maybe sure it is a clean surface. replace with gasket supplied with new unit. screw down tight connect wiring loom. all done start engine.

Thanks for the quick response's!

I just wasn't sure as my problem is the idle
would die when the A/C was switched on..

My mechanic adjusted the idle but said
I needed a new idle control motor..Surpisingly,his diagnostic computer had no software for the E series...

A easy job,thanks again! :D
