Idler screw

If I want to turn the idle up, which way do I turn the screw, clockwise or counterclockwise?

CCW raises idle. CW lowers it. Unscrew to raise.

You should NOT need to dick with it unless you swapped TB's or engines. The screw is set from the factory and no amount of dicking with i/h/e should affect it. If you are idling low, you have another problem, more than likely you are running too rich. You should fix that first.

The idling screw is located on the top left hand side of your intake manifold; right above the throttle body. It should be in between 2 goldish looking bolts. If you are going to adjust the idle...1)Do it slowly 2) Use a flat head screwdriver and 3) For the love of god turn it to the left and not the right. Make sure the car is runing and warmed up as well. Good luck.
