1.After the engine starts, the lAc valve opens for a certain time. The amount of air is increased to raise the idle speed
about 150 - 300 rpm.
When the coolant temperature is tow, the IAC valve is opened to obtain the proper fast idle speed. The amount of
bypassed air is thus controlled in relation to the engine coolant temperature'
