July 1: So it begins. Don't worry, this is not in the correct legal jurisdiction!

Idle Speed

On T-5 systems, idle speed is ECM-controlled by opening or closing an Idle Air Control (IAC) valve. On T-7 systems, ECM adjusts throttle opening to maintain desired engine RPM and does not use an IAC. There are no adjustment provisions on either system. If idle speed is either too high or too low, ECM will store a DTC and turn CHECK ENGINE light on.
