This system automatically controlsengineidlespeed toaspecified level.Idlespeed iscontrolled
through fineadjustment ofthe amount ofair which bypasses thethrottle valveviaIACV-AAC valve.The
IACV-AAC valveopens andcloses (except forEurope andIsrael), orrepeats ON/OFF operation (for
Europe andIsrael), according tothe signal sentfrom theECM. Thecamshaft positionsensordetects
the actual engine speedandsends asignal tothe ECM. TheECM thencontrols theIACV-AAC valveso
that engine speedcoincides withthetarget valuememorized inECM. Thetarget engine speedisthe
lowest speedatwhich theengine canoperate steadily. Theoptimum valuestored inthe ECM isdeter-
mined bytaking intoconsideration variousengineconditions, suchasduring warmup,deceleration, and
engine load(airconditioner, powersteering andcooling fanoperation).

COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
IACV-AAC valve-Except forEurope andIsrael

The IACV-AAC valveismoved byopen andclose signals from
the ECM. When theopen signal issent tothe valve, theamount
of air that willflow through thevalve increases. Themore air
that flows through thevalve, thehigher theidle speed. When
the close signal issent tothe valve. theamount ofair
decreases.

response tothrottle valveopening. Thevacuum controls the
movement ofataper valve connected tothe vacuum diaphragm
in the EGR valve.

The EGR valve andEVAP canister purgecontrol solenoid valve
responds tosignals fromtheECM. When theECM sends anON
(ground) signal,thecoil inthe solenoid valveisenergized. A
plunger willthen move tocut the vacuum signal(fromthethrot-
tle body tothe EGR valve andEVAP canister purgevalve).
When theECM sends anOFF signal, thevacuum signalpasses
through thesolenoid valve.Thesignal thenreaches theEGR
valve andEVAP canister.
