IACV Nipples

[XperienceM5G]

Sorry this questions has probably been asked before but I searched the forum and really couldn't find what I was looking for.

Anyways could anyone help by telling me where the two nipples on my IAC valve connect to? I have an 89 240 with a blacktop SR. The IACV is connected for the most part, looks clean, but the two nipples next to each other are not connected to anything. Any help would be awesome as I'm at a bit of a loss.

those are coolant ports. They go down to the coolant hoses under your intake manifold.

You don't need to connect them if you just block off the coolant line junctions on the main lines themselves. This is just to create a warm engine faster, same effect as the throttle body cooling lines.

Not running these can add horsepower especially with the addition of a thermal intake gasket.

call me crazy but i thought those where required for the iacv to even work? could have sworn the heat from the coolant is read by the iacv which in return determines how warmed up the engine is thus setting the idle? have i been completely wrong about this?

WRONG!

IACV uses the coolant to determine cold idle. thats what its for. if you are using IACV connect to coolant lines.


The lines for throttle body are just for cold climate situations and are not needed

Lol, well thanks guys. I'll hook it up to my coolant lines as soon as I get some free time from work.
