System Description
The idle speed ot the engine is controlled by the ldle Air Control (lAC) Valve.The valve changes the amount of air bypassing into the intake manifold in response to electric current controlled bv theECM/PCM. When the IAC Valve is activated, the valve opens lo maintain the proper idle speed.
