Re: ICV Idle Control Valve not working

The IAC gets power from the ECM in the form of quadrature pulses (steps). This is difficult to monitor with a voltmeter and should be done with a dual channel oscilloscope. The IAC is a stepper motor. You can Google that and see how it's supposed to work, then determine how you can monitor it.

Before getting too involved you might want to check the ECM connections and fuses.
