The idle control motor is a device in vehicles with a fuel injection system that lets your car regulate the air that goes through the throttle plate. This affects the RPMs of the engine while idling, and keeps the engine from stalling.
Idle control motor operationThe RPM is affected during idle because of the air passing through the throttle plate, which is due to the idle control motor. It is a DC motor controlled by the computer to move in and out to maintain the precise idle speed. This device benefits the engine because it makes it run better while idling and keeps it from stalling.
