The air bypass port in the throttle body is used to feed the idle speed control motor. When an idle air control motor malfunctions it can cause the engine either to idle too high or too low, or stall the engine all together. This condition will usually illuminates the check engine or service engine soon light. After the job is complete and the engine has been started, it can take some time before the idle air control can recalibrate itself, engine stalling, high and low idle are normal until a few run cycles are completed.

At engine speeds above idle, the valve is not used and does not effect the engine. E...
