Throttle body/ Idle

i was just wondering if someone could just give me a picture of which screw to turn to change the idle since mine is way to low and is sitting now at 550 when in drive and it is making my car stall. Thanks

Dan, no pic here.

You have two options - turn the idle stop shank (it's like a screw with no head. You use needlenose pliers to adjust it since it's hard to access - it's under the STB).

Or you can adjust the IAC bleed screw. It's on the front of the IAC under a rubber plug. If you run it out too far, the idle will hang. I ran mine out as far as I could without the hanging idle (1.75 turns from being all the way in, IIRC) and then had to adjust the throttle stop shank.

I recommend putting a mark on each adjuster and recording all adjustments so you dont forget what you've done (I forget easy, esp when running things up and down).

Good luck.

I think i need a new IAC. I changed the idle with the idle screw and actually set it pretty high. After driving around it dropped back down to 550. So do you guys think it is the IAC?

Did you reset the computer after adjusting the screw?
