Idle Adjustment Tutorials...know of any???

So now that i put in the new TPS, when driving the car seems fine again...all the power is back...maybe the TPS needs more adjusting, but when driving all the response is there and no hesitation.

but the car idles high at 1000. and fluctuates between 1000-1200 every 3 seconds or so. and if i push the gas ever so slightly and leave my foot there to get it up to 1300...then it'll fluctuate between 1300-1500. but once its in gear and moving its fine.

so what idle screw should i go after first??? i know there's one behind the intercooler, but that would seem hard to get to unless the IC is removed. and i guess there is the one on the BAC. should the car be running? or should i just warm it up, take off the IC, and back on the screw a little...then put back on the IC and see what happens?

thanks for any input

thanks man! do i need to let the car warm up...then shut it off and take the IC off? or just adjust the screw whenever, and then start it up to see what it does?
