Need help locating Idle Air Control Valve
I have a 2000 Maxima SE with a "service engine soon" light on. I just had the alternator replaced, and the day after the light came back on. The shop told me it was the IAC and they wanted $444 just for the part. After getting screwed on the alternator, I passed. Auto Zone has them for literally half that. I'd like to fix this one on my own, but upon a quick check, I'm pretty sure I don't know where the valve is in my car and if I can get to it to fix it myself. Any help would be greatly appreciated

EDIT: code is p1370

Courtesy parts.com has them for $250 but Dave B can probably get one to you for less than $200
