Re: IAC motors
There are IAC drivers/ testers available for around $30. Also, you
can fool the ecm into moving an IAC by providing a tps signal around
.6V (easy way is connect a handheld tps) then opening or closing
throttle with the engine running. The ecm thinks it's idling, and
moves the IAC to reduce or increase idle speed.
