Opps! I did something bad!

Ok guys. I need your tech advice on this. Really I did not do this. My ex-wife did this. She adjusted the top screw, the one you are not supposed to fool with. Now I need to know how to re-adjust it.

You need to get a new top screw. Shoudn't cost more than $67 or so.

Or you can get the NISMO top screw that will add 5hp for just under $100.

Anyway. I did not know what to do. I think, you were right about the stickies, there was one. I have to disconnect the wires from it. Start the car and set the idle at 650.
Is that right?

Happy B-Day. Jinni. Funny how close we live. Hartselle here.

No, actually she was messing with his shifter. She decided to "screw him" and move on.
