Adjusted the TPS using paper clips. Still occasionally at higher idle when coming to a stop...throttle assembly is all the way back. Otherwise car is running better than ever since I have had it. I will look in book for adjustment procedure for throttle stop screw. Since it was "non-adjustable" and had plastic plug I wonder if there is a procedure.

At the risk of stating it for the third time, the procedure for setting the throttle stop screw is called the "MINIMUM AIR ADJUSTMENT". It IS in your factory service manual.

RACE ON!!!

Right, and someone may have posted it in the Tech Tips Section on the Forum.

I've posted it a few times before - hate to have to do it again because it's sorta long.
