waiting to move again. The idle air control valve, also called the IAC orauxiliary air valve, bypasses the closed throttle plates to help ensure that the engine doesn’t stall. Depending on its design, the IAC valve may be part of, attached to or separate from the throttle body...
It’s important to be aware of theidle air control valve symptomswhen it’s going bad. These include stalling, poor acceleration, increased RPM, ora warning check engine lighton your dashboard. If you notice any of these signs, you need to test or check your IAC valve immediately for faul...
Due to the constant flow of air, the valve becomes clogged over time and needs cleaning. A clogged valve will result in several symptoms indicating that the idle air control valve is not functioning properly, including difficulty starting, rough idling, and backfiring.

Sometimes a weak idle air control motor will can cause engine problems without triggering a MIL (check engine) light. Inspect vacuum lines when servicing the idle air control valve and replace any that are broken or dilapidated. Symptoms of a Bad IAC: Howling in gear at low idle Rough or ...
With an ISCV, the ECM can maintain and adjust the idle speed for changes in engine load caused by the air conditioning, power steering, automatic transmission, or charging systems, etc. The ECM controls the valve opening position by varying the switched earth signal; the greater the average ...
An example of an Idle Air Control (IAC) valve:Potential SymptomsMost likely you'll notice the idle speed is higher than normal. There are potentially other symptoms as well. Of course, when trouble codes are set, the MIL (malfunction indicator lamp, a.k.a. the check engine light) ...
In this case, the P0506 DTC (diagnostic trouble code) is triggered when the PCM (powertrain control module) detects an engine idle speed that is lower than the desired (pre-programmed) RPM.Potential SymptomsMost likely the only thing you'll notice is the idle speed is lower than normal so...
