The idle control valve is responsible for maintaining a proper idle on your vehicle. When your vehicle is idling the the throttle body is closed. Without a controlled way to bypass the closed throttle body valve, your engine would stall or bog-down. The idle air control valve, uses a separate computer controlled valve to allow air into the engine during idle.
When the idle Control Valve fails or begins to fail you will experience:
- Stalling
- High idle
- Erratic idle
- Check engine light
