I have a 96 Tracker 4X4 with the 1.6 16 valve motor. I am haveing trouble finding the idle air control valve. I have a Chiltons manuel and it says it is on the right side of the throttle body and I still can't find it. The only thing I can find near the throttle body is the throttle position sensor. I have to be looking right over it. Can anyone tell me where this valve is? Any help would be appreciated.

It's on the driver's side of the intake manifold in front of the throttle body. It has an electric connection, coolant line and, I think, a vacuum line.

Thanks for the help. I did find it, the coolant lines threw me off. To me it doesn't make since to have coolant lines tied in with the idle air control.

Must work like a choke adjusting idle to temperature. I'm having a low idle issue when cold and a very knowledgeable fellow at Suzuki-Forums (jtgh) suggested this could be the problem. Good luck

Well the TP sensor is about 200 dollars. So i have it unhooked until i can replace it. I'm starting school soon and dont really have the money for something like that.
