Idle Air Bypass Question

[scotts77]

The only way I could get my RJM harness and BC's throttle cable set up to co-exist was to mount the idle air bypass this way. It's mounted backwards and turned 180*. Is there any issue with it ? It all looks the same to me.

I made a new bracket to clear the IAC.

I couldn't get mine to work consistently upside down like that. I left it plug side angled down, and got it to work by removing the 2 screws and turning the bottom section 180 degrees.

Looking at your picture, I trimed the bottom left corner of the bracket just below the cable. I got just the clearence I needed so the IAC did not have to be turned plug side up.

Found this in search because I had this problem too, and thought I'd add a bit.
I can't believe more people haven't had this problem. That connector wire is not long and the IAB, if rotated (per the instructions), points directly at the mounting of the throttle cable. There is no way the connector would fit in that direction. I had to grind a little off the IAB connector to help clear my MAF with coupling on it.
I ended up extending the wires 6 inches to bring it over the IAB and connect it in the original position.
Pics...

Yup, sucked the big one, I ended up modifying the BC cable bracket that was totally not going to work with the IAB in the stock position but if I rotated it I would have to extend the wires. I really hate modifying new parts, whether it was the cable or the harness.

I had the same issue, and came up with the same solution. I've been running it upside down like that for a few years with no issues. I figured if it didn't work right I would extend the wires, but never had to.

There is an IAC out there that uses a straight plug on it that should take care of the problem, I will see if I can find the application, I think it off a 4.6 or a 6 cyl motor.

I found the part number.
mfg = Standard
pn = AC20

there is a pic of it on Parts America, but it does not show what it came off of, if someone crosses it to a where used post it so I can find one in the junk yard.
