Automobile engines are a perfect balance of science and mechanical engineering. Each part is designed to interact with the other in perfect harmony to produce a means of transportation. One very small, but very vital component found in this mass orchestra of mechanics is the idle air control valve, or better known to mechanics as the IAC. Edelbrock offers their version, the GM stepper IAC motors, that also includes a valve gasket. The IAC valves adjust the airflow to improve motor idling. The gasket provides a tight seal to avoid a leaky throttle system, which could be a nuisance and also dangerous.
