Car wont hold idle when bliping throttle at operating temperature, will hold idle if

Hey guys i need some help. The car runs awesome, starts up right away. The problem i am experiencing is once the car is at operating temperature if i rev the engine up it wont hold idle it wants to die. Now when i turn the AC button on, by the way i have disabled the AC to let the fans run all the time, and rev the engine up the car will hold its idle. Any ideas on what i can do to remedy this problem? does the AIR ADJUSTING SCREW need to be untightend and then adjust the throttle adjusting screw? I have noticed the Throttle adjusting screw is tightend all the way counter clockwise. If i loosen the Throttle adjusting screw clockwise a bit, without untightening the Air Adjusting screw it hasnt helped remedy the problem at all. Any ideas whats causing my problem? Second question is does anybody have an actual picture on where this Air Adjusting Screw is located? i dont have to remove the intake elbow do i to access it. I bet that will be a pain in the *** to remove, i will need a power dremel tool to remove the dam bolts. Anyhow much help would be appreciated, thanks.

If you feel along the bottom of the intake elbow, you will come across what feels like a hole, that is where the idle air screw is located. You don't need to take the elbow off to adjust it, you will need a medium sized flat screw driver (with proper length) to get to it.
