RE: [DML] I played with the brass screws and now I'm hosed

Matt,
The screws were allowing air into the air flow metering body and was most
likely compensating for the micro switch that turns on the idle speed motor.
Make sure the switch is clicking on and off and it's good. If it looks like
it's working then the idle speed motor isn't opening up. Here is picture of
what I mean. The motor or switch either could be bad. If you have a DMM you
can check the voltage going to the motor to make sure.
