Electronic Idle Speed Control

If engine speed drops below 750 RPM, the auxiliary air regulator is energized until engine speed reaches 1050 RPM. The idle speed stabilizer control unit uses input from ignition coil tach signal to determine engine speed and control auxiliary air regulator. Vehicles with A/C also use a second valve, called idle speed boost valve. The operation of A/C compressor energizes the idle speed boost valve.
