System Description
The idle speed ot lhe engine is controlled by the ldle Air Control {lAC) Valve.
The valve changes the amount ot air bypassing into the intake manifold in response to electric current controlled by the
ECM. When the IAC Valve is activated, the valve opens to maintain the proper idle speed.

1. when the idls speed is out of specification and the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MlLldoes not blink Diagnostic Trou-
ble Code (DTC) 14, check the tollowing items:. Adiust the idle speed {see page I1-95). Air conditioning signal (see page l1-84). ALT FR signal (see page '11-86)

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.
