EMP-Engineered Marine Products 1300-36067 Idle Air Control Valve Sensor, Replaces 18-7701, MerCruiser 5.7L 350 V-8 MPI

The EMP-Engineered Marine Products 1300-36067 is an idle air control valve sensor built as a direct replacement for MerCruiser engines that use the OEM 18-7701 valve. The idle air control valve regulates the small amount of air that bypasses the throttle plate at idle, allowing the engine control module to hold a stable idle speed as engine temperature, accessory load, and operating conditions change. On MerCruiser MPI (multi-port fuel injection) 5.7L 350 V-8 engines, a worn or sticking idle air control valve typically shows up as a rough, hunting, or stalling idle, especially in gear or with accessories running.

This sensor is designed to install in place of the factory unit using the existing electrical connector and mounting points, with no modification required. It is intended for MerCruiser 350 MAG MPI and 5.7L MPI engine applications that originally used the 18-7701 idle air control valve, including SKI and MIE configurations built within the serial number ranges those engines covered. Confirm your engine's serial number falls within the applicable range for your model before ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the EMP 1300-36067 idle air control valve sensor do? It regulates the bypass air around the throttle plate on MerCruiser MPI 5.7L 350 V-8 engines so the engine control module can maintain a steady idle speed as load and temperature change.

Does the 1300-36067 replace OEM part 18-7701? Yes, the EMP 1300-36067 is a direct replacement for the MerCruiser OEM 18-7701 idle air control valve.

Which MerCruiser engines use this idle air control valve? The 1300-36067 fits MerCruiser 5.7L 350 V-8 MPI engines, including 350 MAG MPI SKI and 5.7L MPI HORIZON MIE and 5.7L MPI MIE configurations, within the serial number ranges those engines used with the 18-7701 valve.

How do I know if my engine's serial number is within range for this part? For a 350 MAG MPI SKI engine, the applicable serial range is M300000 through A064824 for 2002-2007 models and A064825 through A089999 for 2007 models; for 5.7L MPI HORIZON MIE and 5.7L MPI MIE, the range is A090000 and up for 2008-2010 models. Check your engine's serial tag against these ranges before ordering the 1300-36067.

How much does the 1300-36067 idle air control valve sensor weigh? The EMP 1300-36067 weighs 0.522 pounds.

What symptoms indicate the idle air control valve needs replacement? A rough, hunting, surging, or stalling idle, particularly when shifting into gear or running accessories, is a common sign that the idle air control valve on a MerCruiser MPI 350 V-8 needs replacement.

Is the 1300-36067 a genuine Mercury part or an aftermarket replacement? The 1300-36067 is manufactured by EMP-Engineered Marine Products as an aftermarket replacement for the Mercury OEM 18-7701 idle air control valve.

Does installing the 1300-36067 require any modification to the engine? No, the EMP 1300-36067 is designed to install in the same location as the OEM 18-7701 valve using the factory electrical connector and mounting points.

What is included when I order the 1300-36067? The order includes one EMP 1300-36067 idle air control valve sensor.

Will the 1300-36067 work on a carbureted MerCruiser engine? No, the 1300-36067 idle air control valve sensor is designed for MerCruiser MPI (multi-port fuel injection) 5.7L 350 V-8 engines that originally used the OEM 18-7701 valve, not carbureted engines.
