Quality IAC source

Anyone have a line on an online vendor for good quality IAC sensors? i bought a couple off ebay And the dealer --- same IAC and complete garbage. car is having idle issues and my HP tuners narrowed it down to a bad IAC. Just plain old **** quality brand new.

Use Genuine GM Parts for the best sensors.

This is not True, i bought ebay sensors and GM from the dealer sensors and they were the same manufacturer. Please read my post again. Thanks

I endorse this statement, nothing like hunting down Gremlins and then finding out a cheap sensor/vital electro component that I just replaced was crappy out ove the box. But I have had great luck with ngk plugs and ngk/ntk oxygen sensors.

The same mfr. can make different quality levels for different buyers. GENERALLY, GM has proven to be the most reliable source for sensors.

Yessir, seems like the quality has gone to ****. i got a sensor in 3 weeks ago (at the dealer) and it was the exact one i bought on ebay for $16. has the same #'s / markings and everything....and didnt work!
