    ok, it's black and PINK, and it's called a dash pot. it's designed to keep your engine from idling so low that it coughs out (think Idle Air Control). it's a stepper motor and the adjustment is the philips head screw at the nipple. you shouldn't have to adjust it unless it is causing your base idle to be too high.
    Trees aren't kind to me...

    94 Justy 4WD, 87 Fiero GT, plus 2 parts cars. That's my fleet.

      thanks, i looked at the philips head screw and it is all the way backed out, not one thread showing, do u think that is correct setting?
      and i do have a high idle that wont go below 900, but i have a noticeable cough-cough sounding miss if i go lower than 1000 rpms.
