Anyone with experince using a non-Denso IACV?
Just wondering if anyone had used an IACV that was not Denso, and their rate of success with it? Seems there is a large price difference and am wondering if that is indicative of them being the same part, and paying for that little blue Denso Sticker.

Yep... and Yes it worked just fine: https://acurazine.com/forums/second-...g-iacv-927263/
There is just one small variation from how it works compared to Denso that Me and Another member noticed.
Usually with the Denso Unit when the car is hot the car will start up and immediately REV down to the usual 750-800RPM, The Intermotor will always start up at 1100RPM regardless of being hot or cold and gradually go down to the 750-800RPM so is a little off putting when you are used to the Denso IACV. But that is it, otherwise it works flawlessly with no issues.
Did I mention is 200 bucks cheaper than the OEM Denso?

I had a bit of a different experience with the aftermarket IACV made by Intermotor. Not too long after installing it, I started to hear popping sounds coming through the intake at idle. At first, I didn't think that the two things were related, but while searching the forums for a possible cause, I came across this thread:

Sure enough, after replacing the Intermotor IACV with a new OEM one, the noise disappeared and has not come back since.

Yea thought I would check, I'll actually take the shot and do some experimenting and get the Non Denso one for $28, whereas when I called the Dealer it was $150. Worth the shot to find out for everyone and since I dont Daily the TL anymore I can deal with it being down for now.
I'll be sure to Document it here if anything happens.

Hmm Ok, So I got the other one and it didnt work, then I got the Denso one again. I still got a surging idle.
So I got another Denso one, and I am still getting an issue.
At one point I went and got a Full Throttle Body from a TL that was completely working and had no idle issues whatsoever. Then I put it in my car right away and then started it and I am still getting Idle issues and I have had 4 different IACV's in and am out of Ideas.
I was researching and it seems that Air in the coolant could be a culprit? But I doubt because I just did the coolant flush last summer.
