Fast Idle Control Device (F.I.C.D.): Description and Operation
Component Locations
PURPOSE
Increases idle speed when the A/C compressor is engaged.
LOCATION
Located on the IAA unit.
OPERATION
When voltage is applied to the coil of the A/C compressor clutch, voltage is also supplied to the Fast Idle control Device (FICD). The FICD
becomes energized and opens an additional air pasage. Air by-passes the throttle valve, thereby raising idle speed.
