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.

Honda S2000 L4-2.2L - Valve Cover Gasket - Chula Vista, California
Peter was excellent. He was punctual. What I liked the most about Peter is he was able to explain the problem my vehicle was having in words I was able to understand. Wonderful. I immediately trusted him, had confidence in his skills and ability to fix my car. This is the first time I have tried this way of fixing my car. I have always taken it to the dealer or a shop. I will definitely call on YourMechanic and Peter again.

Honda S2000 L4-2.0L - Starter - Tacoma, Washington
Matt was delightfully early. Explained what he was going to do. He was thorough and took great care with my S2000. When replacing the starter didn't seem to correct the problem, he searched for the problem and pin pointed it. I got that issue fixed and voila, the car now runs smoothly. Matt pointed out a couple of minor problems that eventually I will have to fix. All in all, Matt did an excellent job and finished early!
