after new "iac" and new wires and plugs,etc. idle was still unsatisfactory.
as advised, bought a little clip at the hardware store and slide it on the tab that the idle adjuster screw drops down on. idle was still too rough. folded two pieces of corn flakes box cardboard and included that. idle was too high and engine would not idle down when slapped the gas pedal. then only put one piece of the cardboard with the clip. idle seems much improved. however noticing a slight clunck the last few feet when stopping the car. perhaps it was like that before. anyway,i can live with it. probly better to try to find a longer adjuster screw.
