Removal Procedure
- Disconnect the idle air
control (IAC) valve harness connector.
- Remove the IAC valve attaching screws (1).
- Remove the IAC valve (2) from the throttle body.
Notice: If the IAC valve has been in service: DO NOT push or pull on the IAC
valve pintle. The force required to move the pintle may damage
the threads on the worm drive. Also, DO NOT soak the IAC valve in any liquid
cleaner or solvent, as damage may result.
- Remove the IAC valve O-ring (3).
• | Clean IAC valve O-ring sealing surface, pintle valve seat, and
air passage. |
• | The IAC valve may be cleaned, use a shop towel or parts cleaning
brush to remove heavy deposits. |
• | Shiny spots on the pintle or seat are normal, and do not indicate
misalignment or a bent pintle shaft. |
• | If heavy deposits are present, remove throttle body for complete
cleaning. |
• | Inspect IAC valve O-ring for cuts, cracks, or distortion. Replace
if damaged. |
Measurement Procedure
This procedure is only for installing a new IAC valve
Important: If installing a new IAC valve, replace the IAC valve with an identical
part. The IAC valve pintle shape and diameter are designed for the specific
application.
Measure the distance between tip of IAC valve pintle and mounting flange.
If greater than 28 mm (1.10 in), use finger pressure to
slowly retract the pintle. The force required to retract the pintle of a new
valve will not cause damage to the valve.
Installation Procedure
- Lubricate IAC valve O-ring
(3) with clean engine oil and install on the IAC valve (2).
- Install the IAC valve assembly (2).
Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners
must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring
replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant
are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or
corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified.
These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage
the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when
installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
- Install the IAC valve attaching screws (1).
Tighten
Tighten the IAC valve attaching screws to 3 N·m (27 lb in).
- Connect the IAC valve harness connector.
- To reset the IAC valve pintle position:
5.1. | Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF. |
5.2. | Turn OFF the ignition for 10 seconds. |
5.3. | Start the engine and inspect for proper idle operation. |
