Controlling a vehicle IACV (Stepper motor) through myDAQ & Labview.........help needed/Pictures included!

[CompTurbo]

Hello all, and thanks in advance for your help!

I am working on an academic project to control the linear motion of a stepper motor or also known as idle air control valve (IACV) that is typically found in older drive by cable throttlebody type of vehicles. Unfortunatly, I am not able to find the specifications of this idle air valve (based on 2.0l turbo and 2.4l NA mitsbushi models), so I am curious if anyone can guide me into setting it up through a myDAQ with Labview to enable its actuation.

Attached are some images of the valve (6 pins input) and some trouble shooting images of the vehicle manual I found online. 

Any help is appreciated!
