Hey k4adams, I live just outside of Louisville. Ever come down this way, let me know. I almost went to Lexington for a SCCA autocross recently.

I have to work in Frankfort a lot; sometimes Louisville. Don't do much overnight stays anymore since moving on top of the mountain.

Are you going to DGRR?

k4, the screw on top middle of throttle body in pic is an air bypass screw and allows small adjustments to base idle speed. Counterclockwise will raise idle speed,clockwise lowers it. Good for about 150-200 rpm adjustment range. Do this when engine warm-temp gauge reaches normal running temp.

That looks easy enough. I've been covered up with other stuff today and not had time to do anything. My new calipers came in today, so hope to get them on tomorrow afternoon, and I'll do the cold start sequence and let her warm up, and adjust if needed. Thanks GSLF

Probably easiest adjustment on the car. 800 rpm target speed,should respond within 1/2 turn ccw. If doesn't respond at all with a full turn just leave it,might be time to clean/service throttle body. Likely a little adjustment all it needs.
