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'

NOTE: Before setting the idle speed, check the follow-ing items;- The MIL has not been reported on.- lgnition timing- Spark plugs- Air cleaner- PCV system
'1. Start the engine. Hold the engine at 3,000 rpm withno load (transmission in neutral) until the radiatorfan comes on, then let it idle.
Connect a tachometer.
Disconnect the IAC valve 2P connector and the EVAPpurge controlsolenoid valve 2P connector.

lf the engine stalls, restart the engine with the accel-erator pedal slightly depressed. Stabilize the rpm at1.000, then slowly release the pedal until the engineidles.
Check idling in no-load conditions: headlights, blowerfan, rear defogger, radiator fan, and air conditionerare not operating.
ldl€ speed should be:
450 i 50 rpm

lf necessary, adjust the idle speed, by removrng lnecap and turning the idle adjusting screw.After adjusting the idle speed recheck the ignitlontiming (see section 23). lf it is out of spec, go backto step 4. |DLE
6. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
7. Reconnect the 2P connectors to the IAC valve andthe EVAP purge control solenoid valve, then do theECM reset procedure.
8. Restart and idle the engine with no-load conditionsfor one minute, then check the idle sDeed.ldle speed should bo:

NOTE: lf the idle speed increases to 8lO t 50 rpm,this means the EVAP system is purging the canister.To stop the purging temporarily, raise the enginespeed above 1,000 rpm with the accelerator pedal,
then slowly release the pedal.
9. ldle the engine for one minute with headlights(Low) ON. and check the idle speed.

'1. Connect a tachometer.
2. Stan the engine. Hold the engine at 3,000 rpm w'th

. The vacuum lines of FIA system for misrouting,
leakage, breakage and clogging.
. The FIA controt valve for cracks or damage
. The cooling system (see section 10).
Hold the engine at 3,OOO rpm with no load (in Park
