Idle Up Control Valve: Description and Operation

Fast Idle Solenoid

PURPOSE

Increases air flow into the intake to compensate for differing engine loads.

OPERATION

The Fast Idle Solenoid is located in-line with a hose that allows air to bypass the throttle valve.  When the solenoid is "ON" to allow bypass air to
flow, idle speed is increased to compensate for various engine loads.  For example, operating the A/C system also activates the fast idle solenoid.
The air regulator is a separate device with a related function, but it only operates to raise idle speed during cold, fast idle conditions.
