GradeA Breakers.
PS If you only think you need a new one cos you have lost your 'idle' - then just remove your existing one and spray brake cleaner fluid in it. This often clears it and gives you your normal idle back.

And often doesn't. My experience is that if it's really on the way out, spraying brake cleaner down it does sod all. The electromagnet in the top could be knackered, the water passage and air cut valve in the bottom could be knackered and all that spraying it through with brake/carb cleaner does is get some of the crud off the main duty valve. The real gubbins are the bits that you can't get to and the IACV is not dismantleable - if that is even a real word!
Most Subaru scrappies have them. Try Grade A, or look on ebay for Scoobies breaking and message every single one. I got one like that for £25 delivered and it is the best £25 I ever spent.

Just a quick one if your car is an My 99 onwards don't spray brake cleaner in the Idle air control solenoid as it has a wax element in it and you will knacker it.
