AIC Valve vs AIC motor?

Is there a difference between an air idle control valve and an air idle control motor?

Update:

'99 Isuzu Rodeo. I changed the AIC valve but the problem reoccured so the mechanic said the AIC motor was sticking a lot when he manually manipulated it.

Update 2:

I replaced the part earlier because it was cheap and didn't hurt to replace it, it was simple, but after a few days the problem came back. There are some electrical issues as well. I did not go to mechanic before because i don't trust them..........so I now i read the manual myself so i know what to anticipate. Its a reputable shop, been in business a long time.......but i know what to watch for!

    sounds like you need a more knowledgeable mechanic if he cant diagnoise your problem right the first time , your iac valve goes into your throttle body it moniters the air intake into the fuel system 9out of 10 will work right with a little carb. cleaner sprayed on them and replacing back in throttle body all the motor does is push your throttle pedal open a little to rev up your engine till it worms up like the old style choke pull offs,beware off some fly by night guys who tell you there are mechanics they just keep you coming back to change more parts hoping that will fix the problem good luck

    No different name. same purpose. But could be different design. The motor opens and closes the valve.
