E 450 V8-6.0L DSL Turbo VIN P (2004)
Idle Speed/Throttle Actuator - Electronic: Description and Operation
COLD IDLE KICKER
Cold idle kicker provides an increase in idle speed during cold engine warm up, of up to 1100 RPM (normally 725 RPM for manual, 650 RPM for
auto), for a faster warm-up to operating temperature during extended idle conditions. This is accomplished by the PCM, which monitors the EOT sensor
input and adjusts the RPM accordingly, to a maximum of 1100 RPM.
The idle speed is increased proportionately when the engine oil temperature is below 70°C (158°F) and the engine has been at idle for more than 2
minutes. Applying the brake pedal, clutch or accelerator pedal will deactivate the cold idle kicker and return the idle speed to 650 RPM.
