The 2005 Kia Sorento's IAC or idle air control valve is found on the throttle body under the air filter housing. Remove the air filter assembly to locate two small screws positioned under the throttle body's inlet. Disconnect the TB's inlet hose to release the IAC. It can be cleaned once removed and replaced. The IAC works with the engine to control and monitor idle speeds. It's directed by the ECU that uses operating temperatures and electrical loads to determine engine speeds. Signs of a failing valve include erratic or rough idling, repeated stalling and an illuminated "check engine" light. The vehicle can be rendered undriveable by a failing control valve. The cost to replace averages $750-$1,200 in parts and labor.
