Whats This?
What is this thing, its located on the left side of the engine bay infront of the strut tower. I'm just wondering because mine was all gooped up and I took the goop out to find an Adjust screw. I want to know what it does.

Isn't it the idle rich-lean adjustment screw ?
The one you should never ever tamper with according to the FSM
IT's used to adjust the idle speed ... check the FSM in user SURESHOT's signature for how to do it.

I just read taht in the FSM, It is indedd supposed to be gooped up. Whoops. My car also idles at 1500rpm instead of 725-750 that is not somethign i should mess with. I'll goop it back up tomorrow or this weekend. lucky i moved the screw back to the origional position, I marked it before I messed with it. I've heard the TPS is the culprit of my abd Idle.

Make sure the throttle plates are allowed to go back to full resting position (check operation of the thermowax ... see FSM).
Now read carefully .... Most likely something stupid happened that's easy to spot. Idle speed does not go whacko all by itself (usually). So try to have a good look at the engine compartment and look for disconnected things before starting to adjust things. You have been warned.
Now, if you are sure everything looks good, then you can go ahead and do the following:
- adjust TPS and then set the idle speed.
If you can't get the idle speed to get down to 750, then you most likely have a vac leak, that you missed.
