Air Idle Control Valve

Should an engine be able to run with this electrically disconnected, but still in place? It depends on how open it sits, almost all the ones I've seen would stall.

It depends on how open it sits, almost all the ones I've seen would stall. Depends on if the system has a base idle setting device or if the idle air valve is only source of air. Base idle setting may be an air bleed screw or the good old hold the throttle open a bit on an adjustable stop. If system has base idle it will be setup, with the idle air valve unplugged, to an engine speed slighly short of the target rpm. Then the ECU uses the idle air valve to bring engine speed up to target. -- Peter Hill Spamtrap reply domain as per NNTP-Posting-Host in header Can of worms - what every fisherman wants.

In article , Tunku says...
Should an engine be able to run with this electrically disconnected, but still in place? Yes although it may not idle, depending on the engine management system. It's a common fault on my wife's FTO but on hers, they do idle once hot but will not increase speed at idle to cope with power steering demands. -- Conor I only please one person per day.
