Idle Speed Actuator

1. Remove idle control valve from engine and allow to cool.
2. Connect ohmmeter between valve electrical terminals. Resistance should be 9 - 10 ohms at 18 - 30°C (64 - 84°F).
3. Connect jumper wires to valve terminals using suitable adapter.
4. Briefly energize valve while checking air passage. Do not leave battery connected to valve for more than a few seconds, as valve will be damaged.
5. Valve should be closed when energized, blocking air flow, and valve should be open when de-energized.
6. If valve fails to perform as outlined, valve should be replaced.
