Anybody? (Hopefully with pictures?) It's a '93 Classic Auto and for the life of me I can't find it. Stupid Chilton's doesn't have pictures. TIA -Danny

Lamchop,

I feel you anguish...it took me a while to find it. Try to find it with *lots* of light, like direct sunlight.

If you stand on the passenger side of the car, its on the intake manifold. Its about the side of a button on pants. No pics, sorry :(

Crap, oh well, thanks for trying. How about you Mr. Kevin Hart (the only other person I know here that has an AUTO SE-R)? Any pics of that screw? :)

Well I have a 98 and I had a 91, so I'll take my best stab at visualizing it.

If you stand facing the engine in front of the car, put you hand on the oil cap, and move it towards the back of the car and to your left a little. Its right around there.

Shine a light between #1 and 2 intake runners, you'll see it.
Thanks,
Chris

imagine if you had a strut tower bar running across the engine compartment. the screw would be on the passenger side of the car right under where the bar would run. mine is a white (dirty ***) plastic screw which is a bit smaller than a dime. clockwise to reduce idle, counterclockwise to increase. hope this helps.
