Hi Everyone:
I'm having trouble with a rough idle when my '93 FZJ80 is in gear. I initially thought it was a bad IAC, so I pulled the sucker out (which is a massive pain) and tried testing the unit by hooking it up to my battery via alligator clips and following the FSM test guide. Low and behold the IAC plunger would not open nor close. The unit would vibrate for a split second when attaching wires to the connectors, but nothing major changed.
So, I bought a new IAC valve and hooked it up to my battery for the test. Low and behold, I had the same behavior on the new valve as I did on the old valve. IE- vVibrate for a second when attaching the wires, but no open/close. I also tested the resistance between the connectors on both units and both are showing 20 ohms- right where they're supposed be.
I have a hard time believing that both the new and old valves are failing in the exact same way, so I'm guessing user error on the test. Does anyone have any guidance on how to test the IAC and/or anything else I could check to determine if the IAC valve is working correctly?
Thanks in advance!
