Where is the idle control valve located on a 97 Chrysler sebring lxi?

On a 1997 Chrysler Sebring LXi, the Idle Air Control (IAC) valve is typically located on the throttle body. The throttle body itself is situated on the intake manifold, usually near the engine's front. It's a relatively small valve, often cylindrical or rectangular, and will have a connector plugged into it.

However, precise location varies slightly depending on the specific engine. The best way to find it is to:

1. Consult your car's repair manual: This is the most accurate source. The manual will have diagrams and specifications for your exact model and engine.

2. Look at online diagrams: Websites like AutoZone, Advance Auto Parts, or others offering online parts catalogs often have diagrams showing component locations. Search for your specific year, make, model, and engine.

3. Visually inspect the throttle body: Locate the throttle body (it's where the air intake connects to the engine) and look for a small valve with a wire harness plugged into it near or on the throttle body itself.

Remember to disconnect the negative battery terminal before doing any work near the throttle body or any electrical components to prevent accidental shorts.
