In this video, we're going to show you how to replace the idle air control valve on this 1996 Chevy Tahoe. It's the same part and process on these Tahoes from 1996 to 2000. The items you'll need for this are a new idle air control valve from 1AAuto.com and a T20 Torx bit and ratchet with an extension.

Your idle air control valve is located right here. You want to just pull back on the tab and then remove that harness, and then remove these two T20 Torx bolts. We'll just fast forward as Don does that. Now you can just pull it right out.

On the left, is the old idle air control valve. On the right, is the new one from 1A Auto. You can see they're identical and they'll mount exactly the same.
