You are probably looking at an IAC (idle air control motor)which is about 50 to 115, it depends. This motor control the engine idle spedd for when the a/c is turned on and for when the steering wheel is turned.

the iac is usually in the air intake hose or underneath the throttle body or around it. On most cars, all you have to do is undo the bolts and take it of. On others, you have to remove the throttle body. Buy a Haynes repair manual from your local auto parts store for your car. Those have procedures for almost every make and model. THe IAC will be under the Emissions Control section or under the fuel and exhaust section. Good luck

About VDC, ABLS?

Hello Forum users!
Let me say thank you first for every post you made. Those were really helpful to me for choosing a vehicle I want to buy. I finally made up my mind and am about to buy 2007 Altima within a week. Before signing the papers, I have this one last question I'd like to ask about packages & options.
I tried real hard to squiz 3.5SE into my butget but it seems like I need to downsize to 2.5S. In that case, can I still add VDC package on 2.5S? According to nissanusa home, it's not possible. I don't even know if I really need that but I just heard it's good to have. Maybe I better ask what VDC is exactly for? or is it worth to buy?
Also, can anyone explain to me the differnce between Xtronic CVT vs. Trantion Control System, and ABS vs. ABLS(Limited Slip)?
You may think it's a stupid question but I really need your advices. Thank you very much.

Yes, VDC or Traction control system are worth the money even if you need to pay for them. But Nissan is unfortunately not offering it for 2.5S models which is very sad. VDC basically helps in controlling the vehicle when it slips in rough weather. If you can compromise checkout Mazda6 sedan which is more car per money but lacks front head room and not as spacious and powerful as Altima. But drive is good. One last thing these 3 features are the beat safety options to have on any vehicle (1)Side Curtain Airbags (2)VDC or traction control (3) ABS in the order of priority.

Thank you so much for the information. I don't know why, but when I went to dealer shop today, they strongly recommended 2.5s altima instead of 3.5se which I wanted. Also, the dealer said all altima trims have Xtronic CVT, but after I read your reply, I checked out again on Nissan home, and found out they are not. It's an option even for 3.5se. Kind of depressed mode right now. Of course I didn't sign any papers yet. Maybe I need to study? more before deciding which one to buy. I really want to buy 3.5 SE...

Well, if you really want to buy the 3.5SE, then that's the one you should negotiate for - don't let the salesperson steer you otherwise. On the other hand, I'm quite OK with the salesperson giving me his/her opinion. I test drove the 2.5SL yesterday and was impressed with the pickup and smooth transmission. Because I commute more that 120 miles per day, I'm now inclined to get the 2.5 over the 3.5. Test drive --- go to a couple of other dealers ..... find out what the options are and which ones you want ... I've been doing research on various cars for a month and in quite a few cases I know more about the car than some salespeople (not all, because there are also some very good, knowledgeable salespeople out there)
Good luck -
Bill
