Engine idle speed, crank throttle angle and deceleration throttle angle are controlled by and electric motor driven actuator which changes the throttle angle by acting as a movable idle stop. The ECU controls the ISC actuator by providing the appropriate outputs to yield idle speed or throttle angle required for the particular operating condition. The electronic components for the ISC system are integral with the ECU.
