IAC price differences
I am going to replace my IAC in a 1990. The prices seem to be all over the place. Borg Warner $150.00 through Wells and Duralast at $50.00. Places like Corvette America, Ecklers, etc. are in the $85.00 range. Is there a difference? Recomendations? Thanks for your help, Jack

I just found someone on ebay who sells new AC Delco Idle Air Controls for 1985-1993 ($50) Corvettes and 1994-1996 ($20). He's advertising them as the genuine Delco part. Has excellent feedback.
For $20 plus $6 shipping, I just ordered one for my '96. I figure it's worth the 'risk'. I'll let you know how it goes if anyone would like.

I have found out over the years,the aftermarket parts other than GM a/c delco is HIT and MISS...you either get a great part or a lousy one.
With GM a/c delco replacement parts,in my cases,they have always worked and lasted for a long time out of the box,except alternator rebuilds.Have yet to go wrong with a new sensor or etc.The again,a rebuilt alternator isnt the same as new electronic parts.
I would try and find an a/c delco part New,and shop around for the best price.Theres alot of good deals out there,just have to look.Them corvette catalogs dont always have the best prices.

Been there, done that. I got a used one from Jay at Vette2Vette (815-673-6200) and it's still on the car.
