For individual throttle applications, it will be necessary to use a balance tube to bring all the
throttles to the IAC motor. This will allow each cylinder to be filled equally by the bypass air. A minimum
of 1/2” inner diameter plumbing should be used for the balance tube to allow for adequate cylinder-to-
cylinder consistency.
Electromotive offers a universal IAC Motor Housing for retrofitting an IAC motor onto an engine.
The housing is designed around the Ford/Mazda bolt pattern, and as such, it fits many applications. It is
also available in “universal” format with the addition of brass hose barbs. (universal PN: 325-81112, Ford
PN: 325-81114) This allows the installation of rubber hose onto the housing. One hose can then be run to
the intake plenum with the other hose going to filtered air.
With all Idle Air Control Motor setups, always make sure that the engine is receiving filtered air
from the air bypass passages.
The IAC will not be activated unless the TPS voltage is BELOW the “TPS Closed Throttle Voltage”
value. As an example, if the TPS voltage is 1.5 volts when the throttle is fully closed, the IAC motor
will not be activated unless the “TPS Closed Throttle Voltage” setting is GREATER THAN 1.5 volts.
