[Solved] Are all IAC valves specific to one vehicle?

Topic starter

I wanted to go to a pick-a-part place and find an IAC valve for my 1995 Windstar, instead of buying a new one since I don't know if it'll fix my issue anyway. But the place near me doesn't have the same year Windstars as I do, and the IAC valves on what it does have have a different design. Is there a model of car that uses the same IAC valve as a 1995 Windstar? Or, do all cars use entirely different IAC valves than every other car? Is there a valve of a different design that I could substitute and have it still work correctly?


Which engine?

go to rockauto.com and it'll tell you vehicle compatibility


I don't see a function on that website that compares parts from different vehicles.


It's not a separate fuction. You just look up your vehicle and part and then click on the part number. It shows you all compatible vehicles.


Oh, I see now. 😎


... said the blind man to the deaf dog


I took the advice of ya'll's guys and RockAuto and found the only Lincoln Continental at the pick-a-part with a compatible IAC and got that.
