ldle Control System
System Description (cont'd)
1 . Atter the engine slarts. the IAC valve opens for a censin time, The amount ot air is increased to raise the idle soeedabout 15O-3OO rom.
2. When the coolant temperature is low, the IAC valve is opened to obtain the proper fast idle speed. The amount ofbypassed air is thus controlled in relation to the engine coolant temperature.

2. lf the above items are normal, substitute a known-good IAC vslv€ and readjust the idle speed (see page 11-95)'
. It the idle speed srill cannot be adjusted to speciJication (and the MIL does not blink code 14) after IAC valve
roplacement, substitute a known-good ECM and recheck. It symptom goes away, replsce the original ECM.

ldle Control System
Fast ldle Thermo Valve
DEscliptlon
To prevent erratic running when the engine is warming
up, it is n€cessary to raise the idle speed. The fast idle
thermo valve is controlled by a thermowax plunger, When
the engine is cold. the engine coolant su.rounding the
thermowax contracts the plunger, allowing additional air
to be bypassed into the intake manifold so that the en-
gine idlss taster. When the engine reaches operating tem-
peratur€, the valve closss, reducing the amount of air
bypassing into the manifold.

NOTE: The tast idle thermo valve is factory adiustsd;
it should not be disassombl€d.
1. Remove the intake air duct from the throttlg body.
2. Stan the engine.
3. Put your finger over ths lower port in throttle body
and make sure that there is 8ir flow with tho engine

Start the engine. Hold the sngine at 3.0OO rpm with
no load (A/T in I or @ position, M/T in neutral]
until the radiator fan comes on, then let it idl6.
Check thst valve is completely closed. lt not, air suc-
tion can be telt at the lower Don in the throttle body,
a It any suction is felt, the valve is leaking Check
engine coolant level and for air in tho engine
coolant system (see section 1O). ll OK, rsplace
the fast idle thermo valve and rechock.

Intake Air System
System Description
The system supplies air for allengine needs. lt consists of the intake air pipe, Air Cleaner (ACL), intake air duct, Throttle
Body (TB), ldle Air Control {lAC) Valve, tast idle thermo valve, and intake manifold.
A resonator in the intake air pipe provides additional silencing as air is drawn into the system.
