🔌 Function

The upper intake manifold distributes air to the engine, while the throttle body meters driver-requested airflow. The IAC valve controls bypass air at idle, the TFI module and ignition coil generate and switch ignition energy, and the flame arrestor helps prevent an intake backfire from igniting vapours in the engine compartment.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Hard starting, stalling or unstable idle
• IAC valve sticks or cannot control idle speed
• TFI module fails when hot and causes intermittent no-start
• Ignition coil produces weak spark or no spark
• Throttle plate binds or throttle-position signal is incorrect
• Intake vacuum leaks cause a lean mixture or high idle
• Flame arrestor is blocked, damaged or loose
• Engine hesitates, misfires or loses power under load
