Idle Control Valve
What's the best price for it and how difficult is it to replace? I found out why my car was acting up and there are a few occasions where my car wouldn't start because of it. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Did you try cleaning it? There's a figure 8 shaped oring you may have to replace when you put it back on. Also there's a small screen in there, which may be dirty. Try using some carb cleaner to clean it first-use the carb cleaner on your intake before taking it off and replace the PCV valve after. Not diffacult to do. Helped me very much!
