Idle Air Control Valve for Ford and Lincoln

Standard Ignition AC413 is an idle air control valve for select Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury applications. It is built to regulate bypass airflow at the throttle body so the engine can maintain a stable idle under changing load conditions. This AC413 idle air control valve uses a square connector, includes a gasket, and features a 1-port, 2-terminal design.

Key Features

• Square connector shape for the listed applications
• Gaskets included for installation
• 1-port, 2-terminal configuration
• Stepping motor design for precise pintle and airflow control
• Polymer-blended neodymium/iron/boron magnet construction
• Shielded ball bearing helps resist environmental contaminants
• Load-tested actuator for added durability and consistent operation

Detailed Description

Standard Ignition AC413 is engineered for accurate idle speed control in vehicles that rely on an electronically managed idle air system. The motor and pintle assembly are built to respond precisely to airflow demands, helping the engine maintain steady idle quality during cold starts, accessory load changes, and stop-and-go driving. This part cross-references Hitachi Automotive ABV0012 for the same application. Common search terms for this part include idle air control valve for 2000-2002 Ford Crown Victoria, 2000-2002 Lincoln Town Car idle air control valve, and 2000-2002 Mercury Grand Marquis idle air control valve.

What It Helps Address

• Unstable or fluctuating idle speed
• Stalling when coming to a stop
• Idle speed that is too high or too low
• Poor idle control during cold starts
• Idle quality issues caused by airflow control problems

Installation Notes and Tips

• Verify connector shape, terminal count, and port configuration before installation.
• Clean the throttle body and mating surfaces before fitting the new valve.
• Use the included gasket to help seal the assembly properly.
• Confirm vehicle-specific fitment for 2000-2002 Ford Crown Victoria, 2000-2002 Lincoln Town Car, 2000-2002 Mercury Grand Marquis, and 2002 Ford Explorer or Mercury Mountaineer applications listed with primary or auxiliary air valve notes.
• After installation, clear any stored idle-related fault codes and allow the engine to relearn idle strategy if required by the vehicle.
