Question
Why do IAC valves fail in engines with frequent short trips?
Answer
Carbon buildup and oil contamination from PCV system.
Explain
Short trips prevent IAC valve heating, leading to carbon buildup. CHEPQ tools command valve movement and test resistance—cleaning the valve with throttle body cleaner resolves the issue, avoiding idle problems.
