During our tests we have found that some engines were experiencing irregular idle, this may be due to an incorrectly adjusted IAC (Idle Air Control) valve.
In order to work on the IAC valve correctly, you must adjust the air passage screw located on the throttle body (Fig. 1) so that the valve has an opening from 23 to 25 % when the engine is at idle and warm, therefore the operation sequence needed to adjust the air passage screw correctly is the following:
- Turn on the engine and let it warm up
- Leave the engine at idle
- Connect TEXA's diagnostic tool and check the value of the IAC valve on the Parameters page
- Slowly adjust the adjusting valve on the throttle body (Fig. 2) with a screwdriver until the IAC valve assumes a value from 23 to 25 % as suggested
- Perform a test drive and make sure the engine works properly.
