5Common Symptoms of a Bad Idle Air Motor 

As you release the gas pedal, the throttle position sensor (TPS) closes the throttle plate, and the IAC valve opens to maintain the engine’s idle speed. But if the idle air control valve is bad, it causes abnormal idle RPM and several other issues.  

1. Illuminated Check Engine Light

Idle air control valves impact your car’s engine performance by regulating the air intake. When the Engine Control Unit (ECU) registers an IAC valve or air intake problem, it activates the check engine light. 

However, the Check Engine Light doesn’t provide specific information about the idle problem, such as the engine’s idle speed. To accurately diagnose the Check Engine Light, you’ll need to read the trouble code registered by your car’s ECU.

2. Irregular Idle Speed 

The idle control valve allows air to bypass the throttle plate to regulate the idle speed. If you have a malfunctioning IAC valve, an incorrect amount of air can enter the engine. This disrupted airflow results in an abnormal engine idle speed, called a “rough idle.”

How do you know if your car’s idle RPMs are abnormal ?
Idle speed usually ranges between 500-1000 RPMs on standard vehicles. So, if your engine speed surges outside this range, you likely have a rough idle. 

Note: A vaccum leak also results in abnormal idle speed. So, while a vacuum leak doesn’t cause a malfunctioning IAC valve, it leads to similar symptoms (like an engine stall, abnormal engine idle, and an active Check Engine Light). 

3. Engine Stalling

If the idle air control valve doesn’t allow enough air to bypass the throttle plate, it leads to combustion failure and a stalling car engine. This often happens without warning. 

However, in some cases, engine stalling happens when you use the car’s electronic systems (like AC), which affect the engine load. 

Note: Avoid using these systems to reduce the engine load while driving with an active CEL, and take your car to a mechanic as soon as possible. An engine stall can be dangerous in bad traffic conditions.

4. Backfiring

A backfire is when fuel ignites outside the combustion chamber. If the IAC valve causes it, you’ll notice the backfire when you disengage the gas pedal to slow down. 

How does a bad Idle Air Motor cause it?
A bad idle control valve leads to poor air intake, causing a car’s engine to run rich during idle. This results in excess unburnt fuel leaking out into the exhaust and igniting. 

5. The Engine Starts, Then Dies 

A bad IAC valve can starve your car’s engine of oxygen if it doesn’t open sufficiently. This makes combustion difficult and, in some cases, impossible. And if combustion can’t occur, the engine dies. 

Having covered the symptoms, let’s explore the ways you can diagnose and fix IAC valve issues.
