hey,

before anyone says anything yes I have used search extensively, and yes I did find out that I apparently need adjust some screw or whatever to adjust my idle revs. Though being hopeless as I am I don't actually know where the screw is :redface:

so if someone could either explain where it is in detail or even better a photo that would be greatly appeciated.

Thanks in advance

Ps I'm changing my idle because after resetting my ECU my idle speed seems to sit at about 600 rpm, everything else is back to normal just the idle so I'd like to bump it up to able 800-900rpm

lol yea I didn't mean now :P thanks alot for that though :D

Just a thought to the mods, why not either pin the most FAQ about DIY sorta stuff like this or if theres too many make a seperate sub forum for them?

Before you do it, make sure you get the car hot (operating temperature). I usually wait until the fans have come on. The disconnect the battery for about 10 mins and then reconnect. Then adjust the idle as you are adjusting the idle when the car is hot and off choke and also it can re learn the new idle speed into the ECU. Thats the way I do other people may argue but see how you go
