Simple question how do you change the idle speed.
There is a screw that limits the return movement of the throttle cable wheel but I have not tried turning it as when i move the wheel just a little, like turning the screw would, the computer starts hunting the engine. Ie it revs up 500 rpm for 2 seconds then drops back for 3 secs then speeds up again.
Maybe I'm moving the wheel further than the screw would?
But I also noticed a little rubber plug then when remove reveals a screw then looks like it might be an idle bypass adjustment?
Just thought I'm might ask before I go do it.

if your unsure, just mark it with liquid paper then try it, if you muck it up just turn it back. but i gotta ask, if your idle is now good, could this be due to another problem?

 the srew thats under the rubber plug on the throttle body is your idle adjustment.

mine does that hunting as well, i got a after market computer on it i tuned it but still the same i tried that idle adjusting it helped only abit because it used to cut off but since turning the knob it doesnt cut off unless its really cold or ive just started my car so i have to keep the revs on 2 and wait for 5 minutes till its warmed up
i tried differ intercooler that didnt help
when its warmed up it doesnt hunt as much the other thing is i dont have a thermostat so im guessing its that
or some air leak somewhere but just cant find it
why do u want to fiddle with the idle controller? what is your rev on

not really a good idea to run with-out a thermastat man.
a couple gze's i have seen with a mirotech used a old school choke idea by opening the thottle butterfly a little via the butterfly stop screw.
so it idles at a reasonable rev when cold.
