d16Y7 idel screw

[-EnVus-]

A friend screwed my idle adjust screw all the way in trying to adjust my idle thinking it was the problem. Well it wasn't but now its fixed i need to know how to set the screw back to the right idle. I know on some cars its easy just turn it all the way in then back it ut a few rounds ???

The screw is located on your throttle body. It takes a large flat head. Just slowly turn it back out until you get your desired RPM, which should probably be around 750rpm.

thanks yeah i know how to adjust it that way but we moved the dist a lil also so its all needing re adjusting and i have no timing light

In that case, you're first step is to get the timing set. Set your idle screw after timing.

can i set the crank timing with the idle screw timing being out of idle ??

You're idle speed isn't going to change your timing. Just set it at a reasonable speed, adjust timing to wherever you want it, then re-adjust idle if necessary.

i need everything to be back stock so no change in mpg or power lol
So all the marks will be lined up when i do the light and adjust of the dist ?
then just idle the screw to what i need ?

I don't know about all the marks you're talking about, but if you're talking about the ones on the crankshaft pulley, they are timing marks that are a certain degree of timing each. There is a point on the block that you gauge the marks with.

I'm not positive which mark is what on your engine. It's been a couple of years since I've toyed with Honda engine timing. I Googled "d16y7 timing," and I sourced this out for you:

jump the svc connector, set the timing to 12* and set idle to 750-850 rpm if you want it back stock.
