Keep in mind this only affects mixtures at idle.

Been there, done that. The ECU will only pay attention to this setting when the Initial Set Connector is jumpered. On a warm engine idling at 750 rpm with the connector on, turn the screw until you achieve the highest idle. Readjust to 750 rpm if needed, re-adjust. That's it, your idle mix is now set.

Then what about the 89-91 engines. MY adjust screw is above the plenum. I adjusted it without a jumper. How would I do this?????

i was told not to mess with this because your gas mileage will be horrible, don't know if theres any truth to it. I used a drill to cut out the black stuff in there.
