IACV and motor mount replacement?
I've come to then conclusion that it may be time to replace these essential parts in my car. question is, do these parts HAVE to be OEM? An IACV is around 60 on ebay while around 260 for OEM!! At 17, I am nowhere near rich, in fact, quite poor.. haha. Anyways, Need some help guys, I know there are you out there that have had to deal with these issues. Thanks

motor mounts are debatable. i bought ebay mounts, some will say they don't last long

I see that you went with the manual mounts, from what I know they are smaller correct? if they are smaller how to they support correctly? and did you do the job by yourself?

manual are cheaper, so that's a plus. there are horror stories of the electric at mounts shorting ecm also so that's another reason to swap them or at least disconnect.
i had a friend who is more mechanically inclined help at the time just because i hadn't done much work myself in the past. after seeing it done if i had to do it again i wouldn't hesistate to do it myself.

The IACV is a potential problem because its wiring can go short as a result of long-term exposure to the coolant and subsequently damages your ECU. Many people on this forum, including myself, dealt with this problem by implementing a "coolant bypass" for the IACV (search for details and howto). This seems to be a good solution that costs you only an hour or two of work.

Why do you think you need to replace your IACV? Does your car idle badly?

IAC, TPS, o2 sensor, you all want OEM the reason is the ECU is looking for specific behavior,resistance, or numbers and the aftermarket stuff is little bit different and cause problems. in short they they make it hard for aftermarket to make proper parts on purpose.
