Default What to use and how do you set the idle set screw?
I just got the code for low TPS voltage on my 00 Formula. The car is reading reading low. I tried my smallest socket and it doesn't fit on the underside of the TB. Thanks

I believe that your idle screw is gonna be a small torx screw.

yep, its easier to adjust if you take the TB off, unscrew the screw, and put it in through the top.

My idle screw is orange I think. It's right near the bump stop...I think.

Yes.

I used a gear wrench fitted with an adapter that held the torx bit.
