Ever experienced engine stall with air-conditioner on when you car slow down? What if its happen at the moment when you in a middle of U-turn? I bet your heart will pounding rapidly. FICD is a little device that will help you with this problem. The concept is, this device will allow vaccum leak by allowing more air into intake manifold hence engine have enough air and wont stall. Its also stabilize idle and drive will feel a little bit lighter with a/c on. For the one who familiar with valves, FICD is simply a solenoid valve. http://www.dokaugot.fotopic.net/

FICD is not the proper way of solving this problem... servicing ur throttle body idle stepper controller is what matters....

true, the stepper motor cannot last long.. mine only last for 1 year after replacement and ned to be replaced again.. then install FICD and it works for quite a long time until the car was sold

maybe good for people who dont service their car that cause their car engine to stall during idle or low speed.

Is a wear and tear gear on the throttle body which control the idling speed. It nothing to do with the engine. Is only the stepper gear inside the throttle body which gave this problem.

rust from coolant lines that goes into the throttle body also causes premature failure on the ISC...
