Tridon Idle Air Control Valve - TAC121

Tridon Idle Air Control Valve

The idle air control valve sometimes known as an IAC, is an electrical actuating device designed to electromechanically control engine idle speed.

It is an essential part of the vehicle engine management system, integrated into a bypass housing or located on or near the throttle body assembly. The idle air control valve allows a measured amount of air to bypass the throttle plate/butterfly when it is closed, enabling the ECU to accurately control the idle speed of the vehicle’s engine. The IAC is commonly required for or during engine start-up, cold start/engine warm up, the introduction of electrical loads, deceleration, air conditioning and automatic transmission use.

Common symptoms of a faulty, worn or inoperable IAC may include illumination of the engine check light engine, engine stalling under load, difficult starting in cold conditions.

The idle air control valve must be compatible with the vehicle engine management system, always refer to the vehicle application list to ensure correct part number selection.
