I think there is a recall with idle speed in that year altima. check your dealership for recalls and idle adjustment. if it has high miles try spraying throttle cleaner into the throttle body. (spray it directly in throttle body not the mass air flow sensor on the air box) when its idling. worst case you'll need a new throttle body

Where is the fuel injection idle air control valve located

It's IAC - idle air control valve , not fuel injector idle air control valve. It's located on the throttle body -air inlet for the engine .

What is an IAC Valve

Mark, IAC (Idle Air Control Valve), If engine is idling too fast, problem may not be the idle speed control system, but an engine vacuum leak. Check for vacuum leaks first to rule this possibility out. Also on your Toyota low coolant, air in the cooling system can cause the valve not to operate properly as I believe coolant has to run through valve for it to operate correctly. Fill/bleed air from cooling system. Check the attached links,instruction and guides, Good luck

94 nissan altima won't start and iddle after cleaning IACV valve

An IAC (idle air control) motor is designed to adjust the engine idle RPM speed by opening and closing an air bypass passage inside the throttle body. The cars computer or PCM (powertrain control module) receives information from various sensors and will output signals to adjust the idle air control motor in or out to adjust engine idle speed by controlling engine idle air. An idle air control motor can fail one of two ways, either the motor short circuits and stops working or the motor will develop high resistance and cause the idle air control motor to react slowly, either failure can cause the engine to stall at idle. When a trouble code scan is performed it sometimes won't always detect a failed or weak idle air control motor.

I have a 1996 Eclips 2litre when you get in and start it with your foot on fuel it works fine when you take your foot off it dies out.Also its only getting 5amp/volts witch ever it is to the fuel ,map...

I am not saying 100% this is your problem because this is a fairly expensive part however your symptoms are classic IAC failure. An IAC (idle air control) motor is designed to adjust the engine idle RPM speed by opening and closing an air bypass passage inside the throttle body. The cars computer or PCM (powertrain control module) receives information from various sensors and will output signals to adjust the idle air control motor in or out to adjust engine idle speed by controlling engine idle air. An idle air control motor can fail one of two ways, either the motor short circuits and stops working or the motor will develop high resistance and cause the idle air control motor to react slowly, either failure can cause the engine to stall at idle. When a trouble code scan is performed it sometimes won't always detect a failed or weak idle air control motor. To check the idle air control motor remove the unit, with the wires connected turn the key to the "on" position without starting the engine, the idle air control should move in or out. If the idle air control motor does nothing it has probably failed, replace it with a new unit and recheck system. Note: while the idle air control motor is removed clean (use aerosol carburetor cleaner) the passages the idle air control uses to control idle air speed, also inspect the idle air control for a build-up on the seating (pointed) end and clean as necessary.

Just started idling rough, sometimes stalling

3.2 liter yamaha engine manual IAC valve How do I replace the IAC valve on this engine? Steps? I just bought a new one and I need to get it replaced. FORD 1994 Taurus SHO 3.2 liter engine YAMAHA

may just need cleaning with carb cleaner.

here is 1996, oldest I have:

Section 03-14: Engine Controls, Electronic 1996 Taurus, Sable Workshop Manual
REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION Idle Air Control (IAC) Valve Removal
  1. Disconnect battery ground cable (14301). Refer to Section 14-01 .
  1. Disconnect the engine control sensor wiring (12A581) from the idle air control valve (IAC valve) (9F715) at the idle air control valve electrical connector.
  1. Remove the two idle air control valve retaining bolts.
  1. Remove the idle air control valve and idle air control valve gasket.
Installation
  1. NOTE: If scraping is necessary, be careful not to damage idle air control valve gasket surfaces, or drop material into intake manifold (9424) or throttle body (9E926) (depending upon application).

    Clean idle air control valve gasket mating surfaces.
  1. To install idle air control valve, reverse Removal procedure.
  1. Tighten the idle air control valve retaining bolts to 8-12 Nm (71-106 lb-in).

Replacing Idle Control Valve on 97 Pathfinder, need help!

it's on the throttle body. Here's a Quest with same 3.0L engine. These often need cleaning with carb or throttle body cleaner

Idle Air Control (IAC) Valve When the engine (6007) is running but not at idle, the throttle valve controls the amount of air admitted into the engine. The powertrain control module (PCM) (12A650) increases the fuel injection output in proportion to the increased airflow to achieve the appropriate air/fuel ratio. During idle, the throttle valve is almost fully closed. It is therefore necessary for the idle air control system to supply air for combustion during idle. The idle air control (IAC) valve allows a metered amount of air to enter the intake manifold (9424). The camshaft position (CMP) sensor detects engine speed and sends a signal to the PCM. The PCM sends a duty cycle (On/Off) signal to the IAC valve which allows additional air to enter the intake manifold. Air is added by the IAC valve to maintain the set lowest idle speed at which the engine can operate. The idle speed adjusting screw allows adjustment of the airflow into the intake manifold.

Fast Idle Control (FIC) Solenoid The fast idle control (FIC) solenoid helps maintain a constant idle speed while the air conditioning is operating. When the air conditioning is turned on, the front climate control panel sends out two signals. One signal is sent to the powertrain control module (PCM) (12A650) to engage the A/C compressor (19703). The second signal is a ground signal sent to the FIC solenoid relay, to engage the FIC solenoid. The FIC solenoid supplies additional air to adjust the increased engine load.
