IACV-Air Regulator

COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
The IACV-air regulator provides an air by-pass when the engine is cold for a fast idle during warm-up.
A bimetal, heater and rotary shutter are built into the IACV-air regulator. When the bimetal temperature is low, the air by-pass port opens. As the engine starts and electric current flows through a heater, the bimetal begins to turn the shutter to close the by-pass port. The air passage remains closed until the engine stops and the bimetal temperature drops.




DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE

COMPONENT INSPECTION
