Question What purpose does this serve?

I was doing a routine spark plug change and i never noticed this hole under the throttle body before. Im curous what purpose it serves.....I checked w/pressure and pumped air into the small hole right above the bigger one inside the TB just to see if it moved air out the bigger hole on the bottom, but it did'nt

What's it's purpose?

it's the IDLE AIR ADJUSTING bolt. DO NOT TOUCH unless you're having idle problem.

Air bleed screw. You generally don't have to mess with it unless you're installing a PFC.

OH Aas...

Air Adjustment Screw. Used primarily to set warm & cold idle. Always set warm idle first before ever doing cold idle. Should set it where you think its good. Drive the car around a little then shut it off and let it heat soak. Then start it and see where your at, adjust again like this until satisified. Then you can do the cold idle.

Yasser, you should know that bro. By the way, those were some killer photos you took I seen on CR. I know what you were sayin about the campus sceen now. I'm up for that soon if you are.
