  3. Locate idle speed adjustment screw. See Fig 1 . Rotate idle adjusting screw clockwise to decrease idle speed and counterclockwise to increase idle speed.
  4. Turn engine off. Reconnect throttle position sensor connector and restart engine. Run engine at 2000 RPM for about 2 minutes under no load, and then allow engine to return to idle. Idle speed should be as specified.
