English term

idle air control valve

English to Slovak Tech/Engineering Automotive / Cars & Trucks
"When the idle air control valve is opened according to the signal from ECM, the air bypasses the throttle valve through bypass passage and is finally drawn into the intake manifold."

Several dictionaries suggest "ventil regulacie/regulacny ventil volnobeznych otacok". It's more or less a correct translation, but the "idle air" element is missing. Essentially, this valve, by means of "idle air", controls (regulates) the idle speed of the engine (of a vehicle). So I consider "idle air" and "idle speed" as equivalents in this context.
Would you use the translation suggested by dictionaries or is there a more "faithful" translation? I am quite confused because several sentences/segments related to this issue occur in my source text, such as:

"Idle speed/idle air control duty inspection" - is "kontrola prevadzky regulacie volnobeznych otacok" enough?

followed by:

"If duty and/or idle speed is out of specifications, inspect idle air control system"

Thank you for your suggestions!

Jan Fatara (asker) Nov 23, 2005:
for Radovan: context for "duty" "Check engine idle speed and �IAC duty� by using �Data List� mode on scan tool to check �IAC duty�. If duty and/or idle speed is out of specifications, inspect idle air control system...
Specification of engine idle speed and IAC duty - 700 � 50 r/min (rpm)"
(IAC=Idle air control)
Myslim, ze "duty" v tomto kontexte znamena "vykon/vykonnost" (check IAC duty - skontrolujte vykon regulacie vzduchu na volnobeh)

ventil regulacie vzduchu pre volnobeh

Upravte si slovenstinu ale tohle je presny vyznam, zalezi na typu motoru, u motocyklu se to obvykle reguluje sroubkem

cesky je to ventil regulace otacek naprazdno
nebo ventil pro regulaci volnobeznych otacek motoru
idle air is vzduch potrebny pro beh naprazdno a idle speed je rychlost behu naprazdno, tj pocet otacek motoru, a tyto dva teminy nejsou volne zamenitelne. Mnozstvi vzduchu (idle air) prochazejici do motoru pri behu naprazdno ovlivnuje pocet otacek motoru pri behu naprazdno (idle speed)
