What suggestions does anyone have for removing the Idla Air Controller Valve from a 99 F250 SD 4x4 5.4L? It appears to be towards the rear of the throttle body under the cowl with the heads of the bolts toward the firewall. I tapped it and got it to work but am leary of driving with it choosing to go bad on it's terms and not mine. What tricks and tools work best for removing and replacing this?

Thanks,
Jim

Hey there Jim, welcome to FTE and the Mid-Atlantic Chapters thread.

You will probably get a quicker answer if you post your question in the

Modular V8 (4.6L, 5.4L)

 

Thanks George. I just posted it up there. We will see.
