Idle Air Control Valve diagnostic code, where's the valve

[Dewsy]

Okay here's the situation. I changed my spark plugs and now I have a high idle on my 2006 sxt and an engine diagnostic code that says idle air control valve. So, where is it? Can I clean it?

I removed my snorkel tube and checked my throttle body which is where other AIC Valves are located on YouTube but obviously it's not there.

Then I took off both of those control boxes in the front of the plenum and cleaned the both of them and plugged the clips back in. Idle is still high.

If you know where the iac valve is, please help me out.

Not sure. On my 2000 Dakota 4.7, it was mounted on the side of the throttle body. I know some newer model engines have eliminated it.

It is in the air hose between tb and air filter box

The sensor in the hose between the airbox and throttle body is the intake air temp sensor. The idle air control (referred to as the choke in the pre-electronic age) will be located on the side of the throttle body. It is relatively small and will have 1 electrical plug and be attached to the side of the throttle body at the same depth as the butterfly inside the body.
