Unhappy Broken idle screw/stud :(

Can someone help with the pitch thread of the little stud for idle adjusment by the gas cable? I was loosing up the nut and it broke in half. I looked around and couldnt find any threads about it.
At first i thought it was just gonna be a m6 or m8 like most of the stuff but it aint. It has a really fine thread.

Thanks!

You may be able to find a comparable bolt from a place that specializes in metric hardware. May be easier just to post a WTB ad and have a pic circled of what you need, someone with a junk throttle body may be able to get you one.

Usually on Japanese cars, you're looking at 4 and 5mm for those adjusters, if there's no metric supply nearby, virtually any japanese wrecker should have them if there's something pick and pay at hand out there. If a thread pitch gauge is a bridge too far, I'd just buy those two size nuts to work out the adjustment screw size otherwise.

Yea I have those thread finders but they don't have it for that stud. For what I was told it's a .5 pitch, and like billyboy said, it's a 5mm

I went to ace and they recommended a place nearby , so I'll go check today .

Looked at a spare TB yesterday, on the throttle cable side, the set screw stop on the body and the phillip head adjuster on the arm are 5mm, so you should be good....only 4mm one appears to be the dash pot over the other side.
