Passenger side. Intake manifold. Near the firewall.
Look for a thin rubber hose going to a nipple near there. Near that
hose/nipple, you will see a flat-head screw

the best way to get on the screw is with a 3/8 ratchet with the flat head socket on it… might be a phillups.

It’s not that cramped in there.
If you have a short flat-head screwdriver, it shouldn’t be too hard.
Counter-clockwise = increase idle

I found out why it was easy for me: I removed my ABS actuator. 🤣
