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.

Jaguar S-Type V6-3.0L - Spark Plugs - Stockbridge, Georgia
Although, he was nice and gave us a discount. The car has been having issues since he worked on it! We've had this car for years with no issues and it has been problem after problem ever since he worked on the car, now it's to the point where it's going to cost a lot to get it repaired. I can't even drive it at this point, which is very frustrating! Issues that occurred since he worked on it: 1. There was an oil leak, which never happened. 2. When I turn the heat on, it gave off a smell; unless I turned on the "Circulated Cabin Air", which also never happened. 3. Now, which is major! It's making a thumping noise under the hood, engine light is on, and thick smoke is coming from the exhaust. I'm not trying to point fingers but something isn't right about this situation, the car has been doing fine since we've had it over the years and since I had someone else work on the car (Your Mechanic) it's been having issues.
