Idle speed control valve
Quote:
My engine usually takes 2.0 mile to reach operational temperature this time of year. At the 1.4 mile mark, which is a stop sign, I've increased my trip FE by 2.0 MPG at that point which stays the rest of the trip. It's almost as big a difference as with and without EBH. I've had no driveabilty issue at all except for the first 15 seconds you have to feather the gas to keep it from dieing after start in P. In D no problems at all. This comes out to around a 10% increase. |

On my car the idle speed control valve is used to hold a steady idle so idle speed doesn't change as conditions change or as the motor and various sensors get older. It's also used to raise the idle speed when the engine is cold, raise idle when the car is moving so using the power brakes and power steering don't stall the engine, and to raise idle when A/C is used. In a nutshell it's all about driveability.

My car will not run with the wire disconected, It will run if I keep pushing on the throttle but soon as I let up the engine dies.

an IAC controls the Idle basicly. Its functions are slightly different in some cars. Some have a AC idle boost thats seperate. The computer wants the engine to idle at a programmed speed, It adjusts the IAC as needed.
In the carburator days it was just the throttle minimum screw, that kept the throttle open enough for it to idle (When cold the choke opens it more) |
