Idle Control System

Idle Control System
The idle speed of the engine is controlled by the IAC (idle air control) valve:
- After the engine starts, the IAC valve opens for a certain time. The amount of air is increased to raise the idle speed.
- When the engine coolant temperature is low, the IAC valve is opened to obtain the proper fast idle speed. The amount of bypassed air is controlled in relation to engine coolant temperature to maintain the proper idle speed.
