Matthew, It's a little known fact that these are adjustable. There is a hole in between the two connections on the plug. With a 3mm allen (if memory serves me) withdraw a set screw. Use a 2.5 mm allen to access the adjustment screw. You can do the adjustment while the car is running if first you remove the rubber boot on the plug. Turn in small increments. CW lowers idle. Also affected is how fast rpms drop to idle speed. Good Luck. > I have 2 idle control valves. One put the idle at > ~2200 and the other at ~350.
