Hi guys... my car idles at around 500-600 in drive and i was thinking of bumping it up to around 750-800... opened the hoot and saw may screws at the top of the engine where the air meets the engine... not sure on which one to turn...
questions...
- anyone has a photo to show me which screw is it??
- do i turn left or right??
- what are the procedures
thanks.....:D

the ecu controls the idle to a certain extent, but it doesn't have complete control.
maybe his has been altered on the idle screw to get it that low.
there is an idle screw on the throttle body. to raise the idle screw it out with the engine running until you get the desired rpm.

The idle screw is recessed in the top of the throttle body near the last section before the rubber intake it is turned in to lower the revs and turned out (1/4 turn at a time) to increase the revs hope this helps
