Go to your local Junk Yard and pick up a Throttle Body from a 3.0 Duratech engine out of a Ford Escape. It runs at about $40.00 with the TPS on it.
It is almost a bolt on
that 80 dollar chip sounds sketched especially since you have to splice wires in order to install it, most legit chips for the rangers are piggy backed right on the vehicles computer and have several settings allowing you to choose from fuel economy to most power and you wont have to splice any wires, as for the programmers its just a plug and play setup, if your looking for more power regearing would be a better investment
Yea, I wasn't sure if I wanted to do it when I got the chip. They didn't tell me when I paid for it that I would have to splice the IAC wire. I talked to a good mechanic about it, and he said exactly what you did. But so far it's working great for me. I picked up some good weather proof connectors for it that I can disconnect from the chip and return it to stock if I so desire in the future. I guess I'll see what happens
