Idle Speed/Throttle Actuator - Electronic: Testing and Inspection

Fuel Injection Air (FIA) Control System

Testing
1. Start the engine. Hold the engine at 3,000 rpm with no load in Park or neutral until the radiator fan comes on.




2. Disconnect the vacuum hoses and connect vacuum pump to the hoses individually.
3. Allow the engine to idle, and check the vacuum.
- If no vacuum, check the vacuum hose routing of the fuel injection air control system.
- If the vacuum, check the IAC Valve, the Fast Idle Thermo Valve and the intake manifold port. If the intake manifold port is clogged, clean it with carburetor cleaner.
