Where can I find instructions w/ pics how to adjust Idle

Where can I find instructions with pics how to adjust Idle ?

I checked the stickies but there are no pictures.
I know I should adjust the stop screw on the throttle body to 650 RPM's.
Where is that stop screw ?

Do I have to adjust the screw on the IACV bypass too ? Is this the grey plastic screw ?


My idle is 900 now , and it drops to 650 when I shift to D. The car eats gas like crazy (I replaced the knock and front O2 sensors, fuel & air filters, cleaned throttle body and reset the ecu)

I'm planning to clean IACV too , where can I find instructions with pics ?
Change/clean PCV valve too ?

BTW 900rpm at park or neutral and dropping to 650 when in drive or reverse sounds normal to me...

There is only one pic in the stickies , but it doesn't help me so much.
Also according to this sticky the idle shold be around 650-700.

changing the pcv will probably help. I'm doing mine tomorrow due to my hurrendous gas mileage recently. I'm also replacing the fuel filter and cleaning the throttle body. That rpm seems about right. I'll let you know how if changing the pcv helps alot. It's only a $5 part so you might want to just run to autozone and grab one.

Thanks ! Please let me know what tools did you use to replace PCV valve and how you did it.
