What is the Idle Control Valve all about?

The Idle Control Valve is designed to control and maintain a consistent engine idle speed. The valve helps counter anything the driver may do to put extra load on the engine, such as turn on the air conditioning, sound systems, lights, etc. When the car is cold, the idle control valve helps the engine start.

Keep in mind:

The idle control valve usually goes bad because of excessive carbon buildup in the intake manifold.

How it's done:

Scan the computer system in the car for codes.
Check for any vacuum leaks.
Check electrical connections.
Remove and replace the idle air control valve if faulty.
Clean carbon out of intake manifold ports.
Clear Engine Check light.

Our recommendation:

It is a good idea to get an air induction service performed every 3 to 4 years. This will ensure that the carbon does not build up on the valve. When you are getting the idle control valve replaced, your mechanic should inspect the vacuum lines for leaks. If the vacuum is leaking, it will mimic the symptoms of a bad IAC valve.

What common symptoms indicate you may need to replace the Idle Control Valve?

When the engine is idle, (car not moving), the engine may stall.
Excessive racing noise from the engine.
Engine may shut off if AC is turned on.
Check Engine light is on.

How important is this service?

The idle control valve is responsible for maintaining a constant and consistent engine. It achieves this by ensuring that the idle speed is always constant. Many factors – such as a cold engine, the radio, or the air conditioning – effect the idling speed of the engine, so the idle control valve neutralizes these outside factors, and makes sure that the engine is consistently idling at a stable speed. When the idle control valve malfunctions, the idling speed is no longer regulated. This means that if you turn on the radio or the air conditioning, which requires power, your engine may stall. It also means that your vehicle may not be able to turn on.

GMC Acadia V6-3.6L - Strut Assembly Replacement (Front) - Fayetteville, Georgia

Son was very Professional, knowledgeable and prompt on time. He arrived earlier than scheduled and I was very please with that. He is what I would consider to be TOP-NOTCH, that word is used in the Military a lot basically he is an expert. He replaced my Struct assembly, Son knows his stuff and he's fast. I was very happy and pleased with the service that I got from Son. I will diffidently use Yourmechanic service again in the future if needed. I must admit that I was very skeptical about using Yourmechanic service at first, BECAUSE, its hard to find honest mechanics that you can trust. I had never heard of a mobile Mechanic that will come to your home or office, this is very Convenient and the price is fair and better that the Dealers prices. It took me 5 months to actually build up enough courage to make an appointment. I am so happy that I finally did make an appointment, and I didn't have to go to the dealers to get my car fixed. Everyone know that the Dealers will charge an arm and a leg, they are to expensive! I'm thankful that I found YourMechanic, they delivered excellent service!!!!!! Thank you Son!!!!

The engine was replaced by Holden 18months ago, then last month there was a fuel pump error which ended with Holden having to advise the mechanic what to do to correct the error (maybe was the sensor) anyway after paying $1400 thy now advise the engine mount needs replacing for $1600. They sold the car and have serviced/repaired it since new (10yrs) should they have not noticed the mount when they replaced the old engine with new?
