Its on the bottom of the throttle body...the little butterfly that the throttle cable is attached to rest on the screw...when u turn the screw from the bottom like ur are tightening it it opens up the throttle just a bit more.......I would just turn a half turn to start with and go from there, just to keep ur car alive.
