Replacing an Idle Air Control Valve | 2005 Ford Escape 3.0 V6

I've been noticing one of our vehicles is starting to Idle a little funny. Its not consistent. It even stalled once on me when I put it into gear. These can be symptoms of a Dirty, or Faulty Idle Air Control Valve. I decided to replace it. This isn't a hard part to change and if you don't want to buy a new one, a lot of times you can clean out the old dirty one and it should work great. Here's how I did it. This process will be very similar no any make of vehicle that has this type of part. The exact location and bolt sizes might be different, but the process will be similar.
