In the 2005 Nissan Altima, the idle control valve is located near the throttle body, close to the intake manifold and surrounded by hoses. A malfunctioning idle control valve can cause issues with idling as it disrupts the air flow in the system. This may lead to engine stalling while driving or right after starting the car. If the valve is faulty, it will need to be swapped out. The price of a new part ranges from $48 to $149, while getting it replaced by a mechanic will cost between $58 and $219 for labor.
