Idle setting
Recently I installed an enlarged throttle body. Since then I have noticed my car has a bit of trouble idling. It seems to drop low and almost stall.
How do you set the idle on an S2000? I know there is a screw under the throttle pulley but I can't believe that's how it is set.

I have been reading the manual and it appears idle speed is controlled by the Idle Air Control valve.
It's basically a bypass of the butterfly with a valve controlled by the ECU.
When you install the Comptech SC you have to relocate this device from the stock airbox to the vacuum box mounted on the crossmember. I guess either lines to it have been pinched or the points where they connect to the throttle body may be incorrect.
I'll have a look tomorrow.
