sensitive to the point where a 45deg. arc change using the screw head as reference can make it to the point that it won't idle.
"Tune-up" is a name derived from older days when carbs were still here and you had to check some misc. **** on them. Now it means exactly ****.

There have been a few times now where you ask a question, intelligent people give you the correct answer, and you go on to tell them they are wrong or why you think you're smarter/right. Why not instead take what they are telling you, which is fact, and actually listen to them?
That being said, the screw on the AFM is not supposed to be messed with, period! Not by you, not by anyone really unless they have all the proper equipment that mazda uses initially from the factory. People have fucked over their AFMs trying to screw with this, if that's what you really wanna do go for it man!
And ******* with the AFM is not part of a tune up, you wanna know what to do for a tuneup there is a thread with anything and everything you could ever do to tune up your 2nd gen, and guess what, that screw is not part of it! I wonder why.........

Ok well.
i allready adjusted it out.(till it ran rough) then backed it off so it ran normal. Not saying it will change proformace but we will see.. I will Just report any gas milage changes if there are any..So lets just take it from there. forget about everything else.
I took it around the block seems to pull harder, maybe its just (in the head). I will get back to you all in a day or so on any (FACTS)

i'm glad this thread came up actually because some **** like this kid pulled the cap off my AFM before i bought the car and messed with the setting, the car has a hard time staying running when it is stone cold, i have to feather the throttle to keep it running for about 1 minute until it starts to warm up.
thanks dickcheese, you actually served a purpose with this thread.

You act like you know everything, but if I recall correctly you were the one asking the NW Forum if anyone could set the timing on your car for you. For someone that acts like they're hot **** and know so much, you'd think they'd at least know how to set the timing...
Just stop talking before you embarass yourself more, because you are wrong, ok?

LIke i said in past posts. "Im not claiming to know everything", And i did not say the guy does not know his ****, good lord. i said that just for that reason, also i know mechanics that been working on cars for YEARS and Dont know everything,i worked with one two mechanics once a few years back, they thought they Knew Everything about cars, I said to them whats the problem. They Said the truck isnt getting fuel i said really..asked him to turn on the key he Did with an Evil look. I then asked him to turn it over a split second and let off, i then started listening to the fuel tank on the under side of the truck "Dakota" as i was Pounding on the fuel tank. the other guy said "SO ya thinks thats gona work huh" with (your a dumbass look) And i told him to start the truck as i pounded on the fuel tank and what ya know the Fuel Pump starting spinning. the truck starts up and they are all sorta go i knew it was the fuel pump all along, SO there ya have it,
there is a screw there for a reason. If it was never ment to be touched agian it would be capped or Hiden, maybe hard to get to, if it does nothing i will put it back, I just like to figure things out for myself, and i dont think im going to Ruin it!
I dont know everything about rotarys BUT i have been working on cars since 1993

The screw IS there for a reason, to initially be set! After that it isn't supposed to be.
And yes you did imply he didn't know anything if I recall
I'm not going to continue this pointless argument because all it will do is get this thread closed. All I know is that you continue to post questions about things yet when people that know what they're talking about try and tell you not to do something, you don't listen. So why even ask the questions in the first place?

Yeah i didnt have a timing light at the time. and it was Cold, and also had this wierd plastic piece ontop i didnt want to mess with, I timed cars many many times. but with the rotary it was slightly diffrent. and after asking like 4 times finely got somone able to tell me Just to light the Yellow and red dots up..Well how EASY. so then i did do it myself the next week, after Getting so many Diffrent answers from people like you i didnt know what to beleive..Its funny how Everyone in here knows so much about cars but you get like 20 diffrent answers, I learned what i do know from doing my own work, I come in here sometimes to verify things im not sure about, if i know allready or not somtimes i ask agian, But i have learned alot of people like others to think they know alot for status, sad

Placebo effect, conducive to lack of sleep by overexertion of the retinas/frontal lobe/sensory input, leading to insomnia in some cases but most likely just leading to cretinous behavior.
