This system automatically controlsengineidlespeed toaspecified level.Idlespeed iscontrolled
through fineadjustment ofthe amount ofair which bypasses thethrottle valveviaIACV-AAC valve.The
IACV-AAC valverepeats ON/OFF operation according tothe signal sentfrom theECM. Thecamshaft
position sensordetects theactual engine speedandsends asignal tothe ECM. TheECM thencontrols
the ON/OFF timeofthe IACV-AAC valvesothat engine speedcoincides withthetarget valuememo-
rized inECM. Thetarget engine speedisthe lowest speedatwhich theengine canoperate steadily.
The optimum valuestored inthe ECM isdetermined bytaking intoconsideration variousengine
conditions, suchasduring warmup,deceleration, andengine load(airconditioner, powersteering and
cooling fanoperation).

COMPONENTDESCRIPTION
IACV-AAC valve

The IACV-AAC valveismoved byON/OFF pulsesfromtheECM.
The longer theONpulse, thegreater theamount ofair that will
flow through thevalve. Themore airthat flows through the
valve, thehigher theidle speed.
