• Lead wires and hoses of electronic fuel injection and engine and emission control systems are connected securely.
• Valve clearance has been is checked according to maintenance schedule.
• Ignition timing is within specification.
• All electrical systems (wipers, heater, lights, A/C, etc.) are out of service.
• Air cleaner has been properly installed and is in good condition.
• There are no abnormal air drawn in from air intake system.

2. Warm up engine to normal operating temperature.
3. Check engine idle speed and "IAC throttle opening" using "Data List" mode on scan tool.

   If check result is out of specification, inspect the following.

   • Ignition timing: Refer to IGNITION TIMING INSPECTION .
   • Improper engine idle speed referring to ENGINE SYMPTOM DIAGNOSIS 
   • EVAP canister purge control system: Refer to EVAP CANISTER PURGE SYSTEM INSPECTION .
   • PCV system: Refer to PCV HOSE INSPECTION .
   • Throttle body assembly: Refer to ELECTRIC THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION .

     Engine idle speed 

     A/C OFF: 600 - 700 rpm (IAC throttle opening: 10 - 20%) 

     A/C ON: 700 - 800 rpm (IAC throttle opening: 20 - 30%) 

4. Check that specified engine idle speed is obtained with A/C turned ON if vehicle is equipped with A/C.

   If not, check A/C system.
