Subject:      TPS Adjusting Screw damaged, Can it be fixed?
Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed; delsp=yes

So I was looking to adjust the TPS recently and noticed that last year
in Brooklyn I asked that my local mechainic told me he adjusted it
when I told him the idle was way off. I was told they did adjust the
TPS.  Van ran fine.

Now after the rebuild of the engine and examining it, I realize that
they damaged the adjusting screw. It is totally mangled and not usable
any longer.

Has anyone or does anyone know how to fix this?

If I pull it out what size and type of screw is it?

Isn't a hex screw?

TIA.
