Where is the Air Control Valve and what is it?

from the Advanced Auto Parts website:


The IAC helps regulate the amount of air that enters the engine at idle. You can often adjust and even replace the IAC in less time than it takes to drop off and pick up the vehicle at a service station.

Step 1

The IAC valve is located on the throttle body. First, disconnect the battery's negative cable (unless the service manual advises against it) and unplug the IAC's electrical connection.

Step 2

The IAC valve typically attaches to the throttle body with two screws, which might be Torx-headed.

Step 3

With the IAC removed, clean any dirt and debris from its mounting hole.

Step 4

IAC problems are often in their valve-pintle extension shafts (old on the left, new on right). Consult a service manual for proper length and screw the shaft inward if necessary. Make sure the O-ring is good, then reinstall the IAC. If the trouble code persists, replace the IAC.
