IAC is a valve that controls air flow into the idle circuit of the vehicles intake and throttle body - Idle Air Control Valve.
To clean it usually means removing the component from the vehicle and spraying some Carburettor Cleaner or Brake Cleaner through it. (Go to an auto shop or service station and ask for Carburettor or Brake Cleaner and the shop assistant will know.)
Usually you can open and close the valve inside the IAC housing while spraying which will give a thorough clean. Then use compressed air to blow through the valve and remove all of the contaminants and residue and then reinstall.
There may be some adjustments when it is refitted so you might need to check the manual and adjust to specification.
IAC sits on the top of the motor.
It has an IAC ( idle air control ) motor on the throttle body.
Unplug the wiring harness from the iac. Using a adjustable or a 1 1/4" wrench remove the iac.
There isn't a separate IAC motor. The electriconic throttle body assembly has a built in motor that opens and closes the throttle plate. The throttle body is not repairable, it must be replaced.
if you mean iac motor, it is located on the upper intake at the throttle body. if you mean iac motor, it is located on the upper intake at the throttle body.
no have , per wiring diagram.There is no IAC motor for this engine and I suspect you have an error code
where is the iac motor located in a 1997 ford f-150 pick-up (6 cylinder, standard). Also, what steps are taken in order to take out the old one and replace with a new one.
Need to know what vehicle you have but many vehicles have a IAC (idle air control) motor that can fail and cause that syptom.
Poorly, it may idle to high or not at all.
Yes, same basic function.
it is a small electric motor on the side of the throttle body
A dirty or defective idle air control valve (IAC). When you initialize the a/c, it sends a signal over to the Power Control Module(PCM)(Computer) and it energizes both the a/c clutch, and the IAC to raise the idle. If not, then the compressor is bad. The IAC valve(MOTOR)just needs 2 b cleaned (after it's off) with a Good Carberator cleaner-clean it until the cleaner runs clear & the pintel valve -inside-moves freely.
