idle air control valve
1. Remove the idle air control (IAC) valve connector.
2. Remove the IAC valve attaching screws .
NOTE: 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.
3. Remove the IAC valve assembly .
^ Clean the IAC valve O-ring sealing surface, the pintle valve seat, and the air passage.
^ The IAC valve may be cleaned. Use a shop towel or parts cleaning brush to remove any heavy deposits.
^ Any shiny spots on the pintle or seat are normal and do not indicate misalignment or a bent pintle shaft.
^ If the air passage have heavy deposits, remove the throttle body for a complete cleaning.
^ Inspect the IAC valve O-ring for cuts, cracks, or distortion. Replace the O-rings if necessary.
^ When installing a new IAC valve, be sure to replace the valve with an identical part. The IAC valve pintle shape and diameter are designed
for a specific application.

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 the IAC valve pintle and the mounting flange.
If the distance is more than 28 mm (1.1 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.
