Cold Idle Valve

[buickapollo]

Where is the cold idle valvle located that is on the intake that causes the idle surge when it goes bad? I can't remember, I know i've seen it in here before.

Thanks

You mean Fast Idle Thermo Valve?

right under the throttle body.

So is it attached to the throttle body? I didn't see anything underneath, and the only thing on the TB I see is the throttle position sensor & just a couple coolant lines going in. Thanks.

Yeah the coolant lines go to on the FIV. The problem is that f22ax have the FIV built on, and you cant swap... so you have to get a whole new throttle body. sad

^^^^^does this also apply to the f22b tb (not the usdm f22b1)??

[phatdoughnut]

F22ax's HAve non removable FITV. h23, h22, F22B(why my is blocked off), And F22bx's, have removable FITVs. Now i dont know if the f22bx's are interchangeable with h23/h22s...

Re

What is the valve that's located just to the right of the IACV on the intake? (F22A) It looks kind of like the valve bolted below the throttle body on the F22B.
