Where is it at?

My 2004 f150 has started running a low idle and stalling. A diagnostic test say's it's the idle air control valve. Problem is I cant find one on the truck. Any one of you guy's have any idea?

You don't....

Just clean....
The TB
The MAF
Change the fuel filter.

And if you'd like....
Disconnect the battery while you're doing all that and it will reset the pcm's KAM memory.....the pcm will then learn how to adjust things with the newly cleaned parts.....

Don't do the disconnect if you have a state inspection within the next month....it will show the p1000 dtc code which is a drivabilty relearning code and the truck needs to be driven to clear.
