IAC Valve.

Hi, my Tour is idling quite rough. I've read at other sites that this is most likely the IAC. Is this valve under the throttle body? I though it was closer to the side. Can you get it from under the car or do you need to take the TB off? 95 Z-tec 2.0.
Thx in advance.

I dont have a 2.0L, nor have i ever worked on one, but this is what it says on contour.org.

crawl under the car, way back until the firewall, look up
next to the starter.

it's mounted to the rear of the engine below the throttle
body and has the size of a computer mouse.

held by 2 bolts (10mm IIRC), one accessible from below with
a standard rachet, you get to the another with a very long
rachet extension from above, from the side.
