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.

Mercedes-Benz ML350 V6-3.7L - Power steering fluid is leaking - Los Angeles, California
I discovered Your Mechanic by accident on the Internet while searching for auto parts. I read the wonderful reviews about the company, as well as the fab reviews about David M.. I'm so glad I decided to go with this company to have my vehicle serviced at my home, instead of at a shop. David M. showed up ready for duty. He inspected my vehicle, discovered the problems right away, and explained the parts that were needed to fix the problems. I immediately scheduled my next appointment for the actual work to be done. I'm so looking forward to having David M. make the necessary repairs to my vehicle. He's such a friendly and knowledgeable mechanic, and I feel confident that my vehicle will be up and running as its suppose to. Thank you Your Mechanic for offering such a wonderful vehicle repair program, as well as having such friendly, skilled and knowledgeable mechanic's on your roster. I would recommend this service to anyone looking to have their vehicle repaired with the convenience, and assurance that it will be done correctly.
