Comments about BWD Idle Air Control Valve:
I was having an issue when my 1997 Dakota, it wouldn't start after it warmed up. If I turned it off it would start then die.
After it cooled down it'd start fine.
Also the second thing the truck was doing is no high idle ever. Not on a cold day. Not ever.
I wasn't getting any codes. I started to research for others that might have had the same problem. I read online for the same symptoms and this was the item I found. It solved the issue. Located in the back of the throttle body it was a very easy repair.
I got lucky as this was the first part I tried to install.
So, if the vehicle is having a hard time starting after it is warmed up. And you don't get a high idle when it is cold... This could be your issue.

Comments about BWD Idle Air Control Valve:
This item comes with a few extra parts for various installations. Quality of this part seems to meet OE specifications. The average do-it-yourself person will easily understand the install instructions included. I now, more than in the past, use parts from my local Advance Auto Parts because of their quality and customer service. Other places seem to be "zoned" out when trying to do a simple diagnosis of a customers issues. I order my parts online and like the ease of being able to walk in and out in a matter of minutes, sometimes seconds it seems. As a tip, ordering online saves you money when code P20 is available to use to get a 20% discount.

Comments about BWD Idle Air Control Valve:
my truck was stalling out not all the time and people said my feul pump was going out.lol I figured it wasnt my fuel pump it had to be something else. So I am cheap I got this part and put it in. It took me about 15 minutes to put it in. Now that includes popen the hood and getting toll out and changing part shutting hood then test drive. Really easy to install this part on a 97 dodge dakota. Recommend doing as a part of ruotine maintenance after 200,000 miles as my mileage increased and performance plus my truck ran like it was new. As things age i wouldve never thought this part would do so much for this quick fix. I went through all my autos and replaced them.

Truck would take fits and not idle for days without your foot on the gas. Finally after reading on-line blogs I checked this valve and found it to be inoperative. After installing new one truck is back to normal.

I have a 98 Ram 1500 and after it sits for a while it's slow to turn over but starts then dies. starting it again and it doesn't want to idle.
