Changing the IAC

Our truck (4.6) seems to have all the symptoms of a faulty Idle Air Control valve motor. How much does one cost and is it as simple to change as removing the screws and installing a new one?

Thanx for all the help!

Yes, just unplug it, remove the two bolts and reinstall the new one. plug it back in. It might be a good idea to unhook the battery while you do it. This way the computer can reset while you are replacing it.
