There is an idle control valve (solenoid) directly mounted to the throttle body, controlled by DME for both e-gas or cable throttle cars. It basically bypasses air across the main throttle valve to keep consistent idle speed under various conditions.

On E gas engines, the DME controls the idle speed via software.
