Default throttle body issue (bbk)

quick question,

i just installed a throttle body on my car, i'd say like a week ago. now that i have installed it, it seems sometimes like it bogging and like if it wants to turn off. this only happens sometimes and when i come to make a complete stop. oh yeah, and also when i go in reverse.

i dont know what it could be, i think i might have to adjust that screw next to the throttlebody, but i dont see how i can do it. when i lift the cable to get to the screw, the top of the screw is bald.

its not a real big problem, but i would like to get this lil problem fixed soon. any suggestions or advice would help.

thanks.

Look on the bottom of the idle set screw. Turn it up at about 1/4 to 1/2 increments unitll the problem stops.
