The Idle Control Valve is found in Ford Explorer Sport Trac and it serves to control the steady idle speed of the engine through modulation of the air by-passing the throttle plate. This electrically operated component is called idle air control (IAC) actuator, with the help of which the ECU maintains the engine idle speed, so that it does not stall under varying load conditions. The IAC actuator most of the times, uses a linear servo motor that alters a plunger to regulate the airflow, which is used to manage the idle speed. Various versions of the Idle Control Valve might have been installed in different Ford Explorer Sport Trac since its production year, but the basic working of the valve is almost the same. Some of the problems associated with the Idle Control Valve include jamming of the valve by dirt or dust which will in return result in erratic idle and stalling of the machine. Made up of a number of components, the Idle Control Valve requires periodic cleaning as part of its maintenance so as not to require a change out due to failed parts.
