Need help finding idle bleed screw/PFC question

I feel bad that I can't find this thing but I have searched for a picture or good description of the location for it but I can't find anything. I have also searched the shop manual but it doesn't mention a idle bleed screw anywhere. I found a post referring to section "F" but I looked and didn't see anything. Everything I have found says by the the throttle body but there's several screws around that thing. Im trying to install my PFC today so if someone can provide a picture I would be in your debt.

Also if the pins are clipped on the PFC itself, do you have to worry about clipping the wires also? Probably not?

Thanks in advance, Kyle

See the red circle. It's accessible with the purge tank and elbow there, but you'll need a smallish flat-head screwdriver.

Also if the pins are clipped on the PFC itself, do you have to worry about clipping the wires also? Probably not?
As long as the pins are clipped short enough to not enter the connector.

Thanks! I can't see anything but I found a hole through a bracket that gave me access to what felt like a screw. Now I gotta disconnect the ECU w/o breaking it. Thanks again dgeesaman

When disconnecting the ECU, do not pull on the wires themselves. Unbolt the ECU and remove the grounds but leave the big connectors in. Take a short flathead screwdriver and a flashlight and stick your head way in there so that you can carefully press the connector latches and use the screwdriver along the edge and twist to pull the connector loose. The connector terminals have pretty tight grip, and pulling on the wires can result in harness damage (and that costs 16x as much to replace as the ecu).
