Idle Air Control Valve

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


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.
