1997 Dodge Ram 3500 Idle Air Control Parts

Modern vehicles may have 100 or more electrical harness connectors in every operating system of the vehicle. Terminal tension may weaken with time or corrosion may occur within the connector housing making replacement necessary. When replacing any harness-connector assembly approved wire termination methods must be followed to ensure a successful and long-term solution to the original problem is made. A failed terminal connection, terminal corrosion or damaged wire will result in an electrical system fault.

Product Features:

• Carquest electrical connectors meet or exceed OE wire gauge, insulation, and terminal material requirements.
• WVE electrical connectors meet or exceed OE wire gauge, insulation, and terminal material requirements.
• Product constructed to meet all design and operating characteristics as intended by the manufacturer.

The Idle Air Control valve is an electronic device used by the engine control module (ECM) to control engine idle speed. The control valve will be mounted in the throttle body on the engine and allows air to bypass the throttle plate during a closed throttle condition. The valve is also used on many applications to control vehicle speed when the vehicle cruise control is engaged, the ECM will allow air to bypass the throttle plate while monitoring vehicle speed and other signal inputs.

Product Features:

• Robust design increases durability due to heat, shock, and random electro-magnetic pulses (EMP) and power spikes.
• Precision-wound coated copper windings increase product durability and life cycle.
• Application matched to meet all design and operating characteristics as intended by the vehicle manufacturer.
• 100% end-of-line tested to ensure confidence and product reliability.
