Air Injection Solenoid Valve
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1995 Ford Explorer and 1995 Ford Aerostar. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Vacuum control valve is normally closed when not energized. Valve may come with or without controlled bleed. Unstable idle may result from a leaking AIR solenoid valve. An electrical malfunction with valve should set a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC).
- If unstable idle exists, remove vacuum hose from valve and plug hose. Warm engine to normal operating temperature. If idle becomes smoother, replace valve.
