how do adjust rpm on hot starts?

Is there a way to adjust the RPM for the warm up through the power FC? When my car is cold the car starts at 2000 RPM which is right, but when its hot, like after its sat for a few minutes and re-start....it doesn't adjust the RPM and my car doesnt' start very easy, sometimes it bogs and stalls.

thanks.

I dont know about through the pfc, but there is a screw near the throttle body that can be adjusted. Its been a long time since I adjusted mine so I dont wanna guess on which one it is.

Zero, the screw is really easy to see. Just look in front of the throttle body, on the side of the intake elbow, for a screw with a flat head hole on the top. Should be pretty obvious. It sets the minimum amount the throttle can close. It should push down on the throttle assembly as you screw it down.

Blah, I'll jsut go take a pic. Gimme a minute.

Other than the one that adjusts the idle air and thus idle speed? I'm internested; my car is a bit hard to start when hot.

Anyone?

I set my idle speed through the power FC, its just when its hot that its hard to start. Is this designed to work when its hot?

Well it was on the left side of the TB, and its a philips (use a flat head though), but here are the pics.

There is the one that points up, and the little guy to the right of it on top of the assembly.

edit* not the right ones?

thats not the air bleed screw. . . . zero, put your hand under the TB elbow. . . run it along the bottom side of the TB and youll find the groove going to that screw. use a stubby flathead to turn it. . . there is no point to that though as ive already done what this for the same reason. . . my car drops idle when the AC is turned on. . . among others. i blame it on unfinalized tuning.

those screws arent gonna do anything.

I just replaced my UIM and TB and had to make those adustments. My issue was that idle was WAY too high and the idle screw (the pic that Daedel gave) was all the way out. The air bleed screw is at the base of the TB and a little to the right (towards the firewall). If you still have that crappy little oil catch can on, you'll have to move it out of the way to get to it. You'll need a short handle flat head screwdriver to get to it. I think mine it turned out about 2 full turns or so from all the way in and everything seems ok. Make sure you're warmed up before you adjust this.

I had a similar issue, and re-adjusting my idle fixed it. The air-bleed screw is the one under the intake elbow, I actually had to take off the elbow to get to it the first time. If you can't find it, and you don't want to remove the elbow, use a mirror, you'll see it right away. Tighten this screw all the way to the right (mine was very loose). Then adjust the screw that DaedelGT showed to get the idle just how you want it.
