Since this is your first post, we can assume you're a n00b. Before going and jacking with all your adjustments, check for any vacuum leaks. Check all vacuum hoses, check your air intake hose, basically check to make anything rubber is on tight and making a good seal. If it's not, replace it.

I would wager that after doing so, your idle will be better ... if not perfect. Main thing is, don't go messing with your TPS, BAC, etc until you know that there aren't any leaks. If you do, you'll be chasing your tail for weeks trying to find the real problem.

I was a moron when I first ried to do this. Turns out, I had misadjusted the TPS by saying "Gee, I wonder what this screw does? How bout I turn it and see." Dude, I was so f'ing retarded. Good luck, and be careful.

I gots a question. If you remove the bac and the TPS is properly adjusted, how do you adjust the dile? The screws on the throttle body that affect the gap of the TB plates when closed?

1) Create a perfect vacuum
2) Create a frictionless motor
3) Create a closed-loop system that would pipe back any heat generated back into the motor
