Where is the idle adjustment screw?

Ok I need to adjust the idle. I know its on the TB somewhere, but where exactly and whats around it. If I'am looking straight over bird's eye view, is it under the TB or to the left side or what. I have the manuel and I know how to adjust it from the help of some members here. I need to locate it quick!

Take off the intake elbow, the screw is at the bottom right of the throttle body (firewall side) if you are facing it.

It's a slot-head screw

CLOCKWISE = lower idle
COUNTER-CLOCKWISE = raise idle

Careful you don't completely take the screw out. You can also adjust your idle by adjusting your throttle cable.

You need to put it back in. My worry would be that you take it out so that there are only a few screw threads holding it in place, and then it rattles the rest of the way out while driving.
