    Took my Idle Air Control valve off to clean it out. In FAQ's it mentions
    that one should get a reading of 20 ohms between inner and outer terminals
    and 40 ohms between the outer terminals.

    But my IAC only had two terminals. I had a fellow checked it and he got 7.8
    ohms. Does anybody know if this is correct or what one should get for a
    reading?

    IAC is Bosch 0 280 140 516

    Thank you

  2. Should be okay. It is a quarter turn motor, and if it fails it usually will
    be high resistance. The valve should flop freely enough when you suddenly
    flip it in your hand.
