Subject: Re: Throttle Stop Screw ...OOPS!   "Do not Touch!"

A factory service bulletin says that the setting of the screw is done 
at the factory with sensitive equipment and if disturbed "replacement 
of the throttle body, is the only solution.......hope that's not 
totally true.

Seems somewhere else....perhaps in the factory service manual...I saw 
something about setting it with feeler gauges.
