I checked my car out today and I saw that my idle screw is missing.

what should I do to replace this. I already bought a new one.

i think the correct thing to do is to:

 

unplug the bts (blue temp sensor,in top coolant hose) and then stick the idle screw in,turn it in untill the tickover is around the 750-800 rpm mark and then plug the bts back in.

 

blip the throttle a few times and check the tickover is good.around 850-900 rpm should be good.

I tried that before but the idle screw won't go in for some weird reason.

if its a new one with new rubber seal on there...you will have to push it in the hole until the threads meet each other :)

 

unless some ones bunged sommet in there that they shouldnt have??! :shock:

 

without the screw in there,it should tickover pretty high,whats it like?

It really sucks, 1400rpm-1600rpm on idle!

I just had some shop replace the throttle position sensor. mybe I didn't need it(ggrrr)

when I bought it, it had some rubber plug on it and it was being held by a piece of coat hanger wire.

a little mirror?

 

although the tickover sounds like theres probably nothing stuck in there...

 

try stick your finger over the hole while the cars running :)

 

neil.

I checked the idle screw using a mirror like you said , :D and to my surprise I found the screw suck all the way in. :shock: Now what should I do?

Turn on the engine, warm it up to around 80degrees water and oil temps, disconnect the blue temp sensor and then unscrew the screw until you get a decent idle speed... reconnect the blue temp sensor and you should then have a good idle speed from then on... ;) 8)

I am not able to turn on the car because of timing issues, but I was able to remove the screw using a small flat tip driver. THANKS
