Its called the idle control valve, it controls the air into the engine at idle, it opens and closes intime with the engine use, when engine is at idle the valve is open when engine is at higher revs it closes. idel is located on the intake and is on the side of the intake there a many types. for different engines. they all do the same thing regulate air from the ecu and the fuel. they are not adjustable in most engines, if you have a fault with a idle control valve it can be cleaned by removing it and cleaning it out with carb cleaner or other named brands of carbon cleaner, use tooth brush or cotton buds to help remove hard build up.

01 accord 2 codes p1751, and p1700

1700 is a generic code for many makes and models referring to a transmission issue.1751 is directed to the shift solenoid valve b. May be able to replace just that solenoid and be ok. Cheaper than a transmission.

    What's this oil control valve circuit bank 2 mean?

    The oil control valve is used by the computer to change valve timing.
    There is a problem in that the computer can not control the valve to change valve timing. Could be the control valve, sludge in the engine, or a wiring problem between the control valve and the computer.

    Here is the definition for code 11.

    P0011 NISSAN Description
    Problem with the intake valve timing control solenoid valve.
    This mechanism hydraulically controls cam phases continuously with the fixed operating angle of the intake valve.

    The ECM receives signals such as crankshaft position, camshaft position, engine speed, and engine coolant temperature. Then, the ECM sends ON/OFF pulse duty signals to the intake valve timing control solenoid valve depending on driving status. This makes it possible to control the shut/open timing of the intake valve to increase engine torque in low/mid speed range and output in high-speed range.

    The intake valve timing control solenoid valve changes the oil amount and direction of flow through intake valve timing control unit or stops oil flow. The longer pulse width advances valve angle. The shorter pulse width retards valve angle. When ON and OFF pulse widths become equal, the solenoid valve stops oil pressure flow to fix the intake valve angle at the control position.
    Could be a problem with the control valve, oil flow to the valve, or one of the cam or crank sensors.

    Possible causes- Intake valve timing control solenoid valve bank 2 circuit is open or shorted.
    - Intake valve timing control solenoid valve bank 2 circuit connectors
    - Intake valve timing control solenoid valve bank 2 Tech notes Since the Intake valve timing control solenoid valve uses oil flow to control timing, dirty oil can cause the valve to stuck open or close. Before replacing the valve, change engine oil and filter and reset engine code.

    I have a 2003 a4/b6 1.8 turbo and the engine light is on. The DTC codes says random misfire, misfire on cylinder #2 and #3 also, Oxygen (Lambda) Sensor Regulation: Bank 1: System too Lean : P1111. Any...

    If you can supply me with all the codes your vehicle is showing, I can assist you. As far as the P1111 DTC goes I have listed the info below with some possible solutions.

    P1111- Intake Valve Timing Control Solenoid Valve Circuit Bank 1

    Intake valve timing control solenoid valve is activated by ON/OFF pulse duty (ratio) signals from the ECM. The intake valve timing control solenoid valve changes the oil amount and direction of flow through intake valve timing control unit or stops oil flow. The longer pulse width advances valve angle. The shorter pulse width retards valve angle. When ON and OFF pulse widths become equal, the solenoid valve stops oil pressure flow to fix the intake valve angle at the control position. The code is triggered when an improper voltage is sent to the ECM through intake valve timing control solenoid valve. Since the Intake valve timing control solenoid valve uses oil flow to control timing, dirty oil can cause the valve to stuck open or close. Before replacing the valve, change engine oil and filter and reset engine code.

    Possible Causes:
    - Intake valve timing control solenoid valve bank 1 circuit is open or shorted.
    - Intake valve timing control solenoid valve bank 1 circuit connectors
    - Intake valve timing control solenoid valve bank 1
    - Dirty Oil

    Possible Solutions:
    - Change Oil
    - Replace Intake valve timing control solenoid valve

    1. Remove the two idle air control valve retaining bolts.
    1. Remove the idle air control valve and idle air control valve gasket.
    Installation
    1. NOTE: If scraping is necessary, be careful not to damage idle air control valve gasket surfaces, or drop material into intake manifold (9424) or throttle body (9E926) (depending upon application).

      Clean idle air control valve gasket mating surfaces.
    1. To install idle air control valve, reverse Removal procedure.
    1. Tighten the idle air control valve retaining bolts to 8-12 Nm (71-106 lb-in).
