My idle control screw wont screw cuz its rusted to fook! Been soaking it in WD-40 for past few days but cant budge it. Anything else I could try :?: :evil:
Cheers Kris.

the idle control screw should be made of plastic not metal :?

Sounds about right!

Mine's metal too.

It's in the intake plenum and u need a long screwdriver to get on it.

It also usually has a little rubber tube (couple of inches long) plugged onto it to make it harder!

Don;t forget to disconnect ur Throttle Position Sensor b4 adjusting the idle otherwise the ECU will just adjust it back. :evil:

Have you got a picture? Are we talking about the same thing? I could be trying to turn the wrong thing! Sure it is the right one though :? Thanks!

Cheers, just found it in a search aswell! As it says it might have a plastic cap over the screw, but I am quite certain I have got the right screw! Thanks for your help!
