Ford Stripped Threads on IACV bracket. What part is this called?

[Marines691]

Ford stripped the threads on the housing for the IACV, the IACV itself is fine. But the right side screw threads are stripped (the female end is bad not the screw itself) and not providing a good seal on the gasket. So it's idling odd. What is the part to replace this? Seeing how bad they stripped the threads I'd like to replace it. Thank yall.

Helicoil is a good fix

You may have to drill and tap it for a larger bolt. That looks to be integrated into the whole inlet of the blower. That sucks. They should have to fix that for you.

You could have the hole welded in and then re-drill and tap for the stock size bolt.

Or above…helicoil is probably the easiest.

This. That's the inlet for the blower. Helicoil will be your easiest and cheapest fix.

Dude ford sucks here. Held my car for a month. Said they would put inside. Sat in the 100 degree temp sun for 39 days straight. Was insanely dirty. Also they didn't even fix or do anything I asked. I ended up getting it back and having to do all repairs myself. Changed the frps, iacv, upstream and downstream O2s, checked engine health compression Injectors etc. Worked my way back and dropped fuel tank and finally found out why it wasn't running. Small crack in the fuel line on pumps causing pressure issues and idling very poorly and shutting off. Was a wild adventure. But yeah just discovered they stripped this thread too. Still finding their crap. Also found an inch scratch on my perfect paint. That's the only scratch present now on entire car.

Most Dealers suck. Sounds like that one is one of them. I would be livid.

I have one Ford tech I trust. And that's because I've known him since he was 5. I'm lucky in that he's decided to become a diesel tech. So now I have someone to service my truck when needed.

Yeah. That's nice to have. I wish I had a good mechanic friend. I need to see what's up with my wideband now on the mystichrome... it's a innovate wideband and it keeps turning on and giving me a E8 code on meter. With that E8 code it will still get proper fuel even without the wideband read out correct? Or if the wideband isn't working I need to not drive until it's fixed?

 

[01yellercobra]

The wideband has nothing to do with the ECU. It's a separate gauge. You might just need a new sensor.

What size bolt and kit for the helicoil? How do I find that out? Don't see anything on quick Google.

What size helicoil kit does that bolt use? Seeing a bunch of different kinds and I'm out of state at the moment. Want to order the quick to have her waiting for me. Thanks.

M4 or M5. Buy both so your ready. McMaster carr sells kits with drill bit, tap, install tool and like 5 heil coils. This will make sure you have everything ready to do the job.

I bet it’s an M5 by memory but don’t hold me to it.

It’s a very easy fix.
