Circuit Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Pontiac Vibe. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) controls the Idle Air Control (IAC) valve to regulate air flow through the idle air bypass passage. The amount of air flowing through the idle air bypass passage determines idle speed. PCM directs IAC valve according to changes in engine load. A stalling or poor idle concern could be caused by an IAC valve that is not operating properly.
