- Controls the amount of air that bypasses the throttle plate when the engine is idling
- A dirty or faulty IAC valve can cause the engine to stall when the throttle is suddenly closed because it can't adjust the airflow quickly enough to maintain a smooth idle
Other Potential Causes:
- Vacuum leaks
- Faulty throttle position sensor
- Clogged fuel filter
- Fuel pressure regulator issues
- Malfunctioning oxygen sensor
- Problems with the ignition system or engine control module.
