Eagle Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 I'm thinking Idle Air Controller (IAC) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

genorater Posted February 7, 2009 Author Share Posted February 7, 2009 and what is that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james750 Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 The idle air controller (IAC) is a stepper motor that changes the airflow based on the conditions to keep the engine idling smoothly. You should pull it and clean it and if it still doesn't work replace it. The IAC is located to the left of the TPS (Throttle position sensor) on the throttle body.

BLHTAZ Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 I was thinking TPS because of the need to step on the accelrator pedal to start. CLICK HERE for the testing & adjustment procedures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
