Idle Air Control Valve for Ford and Mercury Applications
Standard Ignition AC22 is an idle air control valve built for precise airflow management at the throttle body. It serves Ford and Mercury vehicles including the Ford Probe, Taurus, Ranger, Escort, Bronco II, Aerostar, and Mercury Sable and Tracer applications across the 1983-1992 model years.
Key Features
- Polymer-blended, isotropic neodymium/iron/boron magnet for accurate pintle movement and airflow control
- High-strength stepping motor for strong actuator output torque
- Shielded ball bearing helps resist environmental contaminants for longer service life
- Load-tested actuator for force output above actual load requirements
- Rectangular connector shape with 2 terminals
- Gaskets included for service replacement
Detailed Description
The Standard Ignition AC22 idle air control valve is engineered to regulate bypass air so the engine can maintain a stable idle under changing load conditions. Its motor and magnet design support accurate pintle response, while the sealed bearing construction helps protect internal components from contamination. This makes it a practical replacement for drivers searching for an idle air control valve for 1990-1992 Ford Probe, 1988-1991 Ford Taurus, or 1986-1991 Ford Aerostar and Escort applications. This part cross-references Gates 21761 and Walker Products 215-2001 for the same application.
Common Problems It May Solve
- Rough or unstable idle speed
- Stalling when coming to a stop
- Idle flare-up or low idle after startup
- Idle speed changes when accessories are turned on
- Airflow control issues related to a worn idle air control valve
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify connector shape, terminal count, and gasket condition before installation. This AC22 uses a rectangular connector and 2 terminals, and gaskets are included. Clean the throttle body and mating surfaces before mounting the valve, then confirm there are no vacuum leaks or carbon buildup that could affect idle quality. Fitment includes 1990-1992 Ford Probe, 1986-1992 Mercury Sable, 1986-1991 Ford Aerostar, 1986-1991 Ford Escort, 1991 Ford Ranger, 1988-1991 Ford Taurus, and 1991 Mercury Tracer, along with additional Ford and Mercury applications listed by year.
Quality Assurance
Standard Ignition manufactures this idle air control valve with high-grade materials and load-tested components to support consistent operation and extended service life. The AC22 is built to meet the demands of daily driving in Ford and Mercury idle air control valve applications.
