No Help?

It was getting lonely flailing around by myself. Is this item expensive? It looks it. Now that I've messed with the idle screw, is that going to make things real difficult to get back to normal (in other words, should I maybe take it to my mechanic?) Thanks.

Well, I noticed the oval holes for the TPS screws and saw that my bottom one was all the way to the left. I loosened both screws and got them centered and tightened. When I ran the diagnostic again the check engine light stayed on steady. I assume the TPS is now in the right position. I also was idling at about 800. Trouble is, the idle changes according to driving conditions. Is this normal? Also seems to change in correlation to engine temperature. Well, I have it staying between 700 and 1,000. Am I worrying about nothing here? I'm one of those anal retentive perfectionists and little things like this bother me. Other than this, the engine seems to run great. Can anyone put my mind at ease and tell me not to worry, or should I be trying to keep a steady idle at all times?

Do the revs increase by 200 when you switch on the A/C ?

Bill, the AC hasn't worked since I bought the car, would that make a difference? I have tried hittin the switch on and off but did not notice much difference, though I'll try again.

The reasons I asked is if you switch the A/C on the revs normally increase by 200 which would be 1,000 at tick over. I was wondering if the A/C sensor switch on thermostate housing had got stuck. But as yours isn’t working I guess it's something else. Also by responding to your post, it keeps the thread on the front page of the forum. Did you receive the email I sent to you last week ?
