Instructions:
Step 1: Lift and Secure Your Vehicle
- Engage your parking brake.
-Chock the wheels that will remain on the ground.
- Jack up the front of the vehicle until there’s enough room to safely work under it.
- Place the jack stands under the vehicle’s pinch weld.
-Lower the vehicle onto the jack stands.
Note: If you do not have access to a jack and jack stands, you can also drive your vehicle up onto ramps.
Step 2: Locate the idle air control valve (IACV)
- Open your hood. The IACV is located on the throttle body.
- It is a black cylindrical valve with a two-pin connector.
Step 3: Disconnect the IACV connector.
- Use a flathead screwdriver to carefully pry up the lock tab on the IACV connector.
- Then, pull the connector straight up to disconnect it from the valve.
Step 4: Remove the IACV from the throttle body.
- Use a 5mm allen wrench to loosen the two bolts that hold the IACV to the throttle body.
- Once the bolts are loosened, use your pliers to carefully remove the IACV from the throttle body.
Step 5: Clean the IACV.
- Use a throttle body cleaner and a rag to clean the IACV.
-Be sure to clean the pintle valve and the throttle body bore.
- Inspect the O-ring on the IACV. If it is damaged, replace it.
Step 6: Reinstall the IACV.
- Insert the IACV into the throttle body bore and hand-tighten the bolts.
- Use your 5mm allen wrench to tighten the bolts to 8 Nm.
Step 7: Reconnect the IACV connector.
- Push the IACV connector onto the valve until the lock tab clicks into place.
Step 8: Start the vehicle and let it warm up to operating temperature.
- When the engine is warm, connect your multimeter to the IACV terminals.
- The voltage reading should be between 0.5 and 1.0 volts.
If it is not, adjust the idle speed screw until the voltage is within the correct range.
Step 9: Test the idle speed.
- Shift the transmission into drive.
-Your idle should now be set to the correct RPM for your engine.
