IMPORTANT: If you are installing a new IAC valve, replace the valve with an identical part. The IAC valve pintle shape and diameter are designed for the specific application.

Measure the distance between tip of the IAC valve pintle and the mounting flange.
If the distance is more than 28 mm (1.10 in), use finger pressure in order to slowly retract the pintle. The force required to retract the pintle of a new valve will not cause damage to the valve.
