ldle Control System
Fast ldle Thermo Valve (A/T model onlylFast ldle I nermo valve (A/ | mooel
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 bvoassed into the intake manifold so that
the engine idles taster. When the engine reaches operat-
ing temperature, the valve closes. reducing the amount
of air bypassing into the manifold.

Inspection
NOTE: The fast idle thermo valve is factory adiusted; 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).
LOWERPORT
lf there is no air flow, replace the last 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 valve is completely closed. lf not, air suc-
tion can be felt at the lower port in the throttle body.
l{ any suction is felt, the valve is leaking. Check
engine coolant level and for air in the engine
coolant system (see section 10). It OK, replace the
fast idle thermo valve and recheck.
