ldle Control System
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.

1. Connect a tachometer.
2. Start the engine. Hold the engine at 3,000 rpm wirh

comes on, then let it idle.
3. Check the idle speed with no-load conditions: head-
