I tried a search guys. I can not turn my TPS sensor and get the screws in where I want my idle. I'm ideling at 600rpm with the screws lined up and the car is just dying right out. If I feather the gas pedal it is fine.

Is there any kind of trick. There's not much adjustment from the TPS to the screws taps. Well I have to go buy a new TPS anyways cause I stripped the cheap plastic inside retainer part.

I was trying to turn the screw with the spring under the TB. It's connected to the throttle linkage. I thought this would work but appartently not. What gives?
 
Ok ummm... I guess I can start by telling you that you shouldn't be trying to adjust your idle with the TPS. Put your TPS back where it's supposed to be (warm idle should be .94V +/- .04). Once complete, reset your computer and let us know what it's doing.
