## Idle Speed Inspection

NOTE:

- Leave the Idle Air Control (IAC) valve connected.
- Before checking the idle speed, check these items:
  - The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) has not been reported on.
  - Ignition timing
  - Spark plugs
  - Air cleaner
  - PCV system

1. | Disconnect the Evaporative Emission (EVAP) canister purge valve 2P connector.

2. | Connect a tachometer (A) to the test tachometer connector (B), or connect the HDS or the scan tool to the Data Link Connector (DLC) (C) located under the driver's side of the dashboard.

3. | Start the engine. Hold the engine at 3,000 rpm (min-1) with no load (in Park or neutral) until the radiator fan comes on, then let it idle.

4. | Check the idle speed with no-load conditions: headlights, blower fan, rear defogger, radiator fan, and air conditioner are not operating.
Idle speed should be:
750±50 rpm (min-1) (in Park or neutral)

5. | Idle the engine for 1 minute with heater fan switch on HI and air conditioner on, then check the idle speed.
Idle speed should be:
850±50 rpm (min-1) (in Park or neutral)
NOTE: If the idle speed is not within specification, see the Symptom Troubleshooting Index.

6. | Reconnect the EVAP canister purge valve 2P connector. NOTE: You can use the HDS or the scan tool to inspect idle speed.
