Sidekick 4WD L4-1590cc 1.6L SOHC 0 TBI 8V (1990)
Hot Idle Compensator (Non Comp. Controlled): Description and Operation
The HIC uses a bi-metallic spring to allow additional airflow into the engine during very high engine compartment temperatures. This additional airflow
prevents an unstable idle caused by the rich air/fuel mixture that results from these high temperatures.
