After the engine stans, the IAC valve opens for a certain time. The amount ol air is increased to raise the idle speed
about 150 - 300 rpm.
When the coolant temperature is low, the IAC valve is opened to obtain the proper fast idle speed. The amount of
bypassed air is thus controlled in relation to the engine coolant temperature.

When the idle speed is out of specification and the scan tool does not indicate Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0505
or P'1508, check the following items:. Adiust the idle speed (see page '11-111)
' ALT FR signal (see page 11-101). Air conditioning signal {seepage'11-102)' Brake switch signal (seepagell-104)
. Starter switch signal (see page 11-1051. A,4 gear position signal (see page 1l 106) (A"/T)
. PSP switch signal (see page 11-108) (USA)
. Fast idle thermo valve (see page 11-110). Hoses and connections. IAC valve and its mounting O rings
ll the above items are normal, substitute a known-good IAC valve and readjust the idle speed (see page 'l I -1 1 l).
lf the idle speed still cannot be adjusted to specification (and the scan tool does not indicate DTC P0505 or P1508) after
IAC valve replacement, substitute a known-good ECM and recheck. lf symptom goes away, replace the original ECM.

. Throttle body clogged port, improper adjustment
. Intake manifold, gasket leakage
. Intake air hose loose, leakage

Troubleshooting Flowchart
Problem verification:1. Start the engine. Hold theengine at 3,000 rpm wath noload 1in Park or neutral) untilthe radiator fan comes on,then let it idle.2. With the scan tool, check thefollowing items.- Throttle position should beapprox. 10% with the throttle fully closed.Engine coolant tempera-ture should be 116 212F(80 - 100'c).lf they are not within thespec., repair the faulty sensor crrcuft,3 Check the engine speed atidle with no-load conditions:headlights, blower fan, reardefogger, radiator fan, and airconditioner are not operating,

Emission Gontrol System
System Description
Three Way Catalytic Converter (TWCI
\
t
The emission control system includes a Three Way
Catalytic Converter (TWC), Positive Crankcase Ventilation
(PCV) system and Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Control
system. The emission control system is designed to meet
tederal and state emission standards.
InsDeciion
!@@ Do not smoke during this procedure. Keep
any open llame away from your work area.
1. Start the engine. Hold the engine at 3,000 rpm with
no load {in Park or neutral) until the radiator fan
comes on, then let it idle.
2. Connect a tachometer.
Check and adjust the idle speed, if necessary (see
page '11-11 ! ).
Warm up and calibrate the CO meter according to the
meter manufacturer's instructions.
Check idle CO with rhe headlights, heater blower,
rear window defogger, cooling fan, and air condition-
er off.
NOTE: {Canada) Pull the parking brake lever up.
Start the engine, then check that the headlights are
olf.
CO meter should indicste 0.17o maximum.
DescriDtion
The Three Way Catalytic Converter {TWC) is used to convert hydrocarbons (HC), carbon monoxide (CO), and oxides of
nitrogen (NOx) in the exhaust gas, to carbon dioxide (COr), dinitrogen {Nr) and water vapor.
