ldle Control System
System Description
The idle speed of the engjne is controlled by the ldle Air Control (lAC) Valve'
The valve changes the amount of air bypassing into the intake manifold in response to electric current controlled by the
ECM/PCM. When the lAc valve is activated, the valve opens to maintain the proper idle speed.
YEL/ From PGM'FI
BLK TMAIN RELAY
VARIOUSSENSORS
4.
IAC VALVE
INTAKE MANIFOLD
After the engine starts, the IAC valve opens for a certain time. The amount of air is increased to raise the idle speed
about 150 - 300 rpm.
when the cootant temperature ts row, the lAc valve is opened to obtain the proper fast idle speed The amount o{
bvoassed air is thus controlled in relation to the engine coolant temperature
When the idle speed is out o{ specification and the scan tool does not indicate Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0505
or P1508, check the following items:
. Adjust the idle speed (see page 11-169, 170)
. Air conditioning signal (seepagell-1551
. ALT FR signal (see page 1l-159)
. Starter switch signal (see page 11-16'1)
. A,/T gear position signal (see section 14)
. PSP switch signal (seepagell-162)
. Brake switch signal (see page 11-165)
. Fast idlethermovalve (see page'11 168)
. Hoses and connecttons. IAC valve and its mounting O-rings
lf the above items are normat, suDslitute a known-good IAC valve and readjust the idle speed {see page 11-169, 170)
lf the idle speed still cannot be adjusted to specification (and the scan tool does not indicate DTC P0505 or Pl508)
after IAC valve reolacement, substitute a known-good ECM/PCM and recheck lf symptom goes away' replace the
original ECM/PCM.

ldle Control System
Fast ldle Thermo Valve lA/T)
Description
To prevent erratic running when the engine is warming
up, it is necessary to raise the idle speed. The fast idle
thermo valve is controlled by a thermowax plunger.
When the engine is cold, the engine coolant surround-
ing the thermowax contracts the plunger, allowing addi-
tional air to be bvDassed into the intake manifold so that
the engine idles faster. When the engine reaches operat-
ing temperature. the valve closes, reducing the amount
of air bypassing into the intake manifold.

Inspgction
NOTE: The fast idle thermo valve is factory adjusted; it
should not be disassembled.
1. Remove the intake air duct from the throttle body.
2. Start the engine,
3. Put your finger over the lower port in throttle body,
and make sure that there is air flow with the engine
cold (engine coolant temperature below 86"F, 30'C).
lf there is no air flow, replace the fast idle thermo
valve and retest,

Start the engine. Hold the engine at 3,000 rpm with no
load (in Park or neutral) until the radiator fan comes
on, then let it idle.
Check that the valve is completely closed. lf the valve
is leaking, the idle speed will drop when you cover the
lower pon. Check the engine coolant level and for air
in the engine cooling system {see section 10). lf the
cooling system is OK, replace the fast idle thermo
valve and recheck.
