I don’t understand why there’s coolant lines connected to a idle air valve. It doesn’t make sense to me.

Fila Solano says:

Good morning to all:. Can someone tell me if I can driver my 99 CRV with the IAC valve disconnected ? car starts ok without it, but if I plug it in, it won't start once it reaches certain temperature. I don't think it will pass the emission test, but, can I run the car with the IAC disconnected ? Please help. Thanks

Julia says:

I'm trying to find out how I test the Ideal Speed Control. or should I just try cleaning the IAC. The engine shuts of when put in neutral but other than that runs fine.
