    IMPORTANT:

    If installing a new IAC valve, be sure to replace the IAC valve with an identical part. The pintle shape of the IAC valve and the diameter of the IAC valve are designed for the specific application.

  1. Measure the distance between the tip of the IAC valve pintle and the mounting surface (1). If the distance is more than 28 mm (1.1 in) use finger pressure to slowly retract the pintle. The force required to retract the pintle of a new valve does not cause damage to the valve.
