Summary of change:
= Idle Air Control = Full details on the types of Toyota IACVs can be found here: http://www.autoshop101.com/forms/h60.pdf The early type is a simple solanoid, called a Vacuum Switching Valve, which allows a vaccum to pass to a set of bellows that move against the throttle plate stop. They are triggered by ECU, or various electrical load switches. Most people remove these when going to a stand-alone system, as they do not work very well after 25years of service. The newer 20v engines have a Dual-Control Rotary Solanoid IAC System, marked as A on the picture below. http://vems.hu/www.vems.co.uk/VEMSInstalls/4AQuestion.jpg One coil opens the IAC valve, the other closes it, with neither coil active the IAC valve sits at 50%. The document states: ''The ECM controls IACV positioning by applying a duty cycled signal to the two electrical coils in the IACV. By changing the duty ratio (on time versus off time), a change in the magnetic field causes the valve to rotate. Basically, as duty ratio drops belpw 50%, the valve closes the passage. If the IACV is disconnected or inoperative, the valve will move to a default position and idle rpm will be around 1000 to 1200rpm at operating temperature.'' A simple solution is to use a Relay to ground one coil or the other http://vems.hu/www.vems.co.uk/VEMSInstalls/IACRelay.png http://vems.hu/www.vems.co.uk/VEMSInstalls/IACRelay.jpg In order to PWM the solanoid for the best results a FET driver with one inverting and one non-inverting output (such as the TC4428) may be used: http://vems.hu/www.vems.co.uk/VEMSInstalls/ToyotaIACController.png ---- I guess it's very similar to the ones on BMWs (dual solenoid) with an extra pre-set spring. However selecting the dual-solenoid iac option in newer (>1.0.30) firmwares might control this valve without extra electronics.
