Idle Adjustment (which direction to increase)

I'm trying to increase my idle abit so that there is less vibration.

When I turn the idle adjustment screw - it doesn't "seem" like it idles any faster, when I turn it clockwise - it seems to idle a bit slower but nothing noticeable. So I assume its clockwise to lower, and counterclockwise to increase?

I did do this the lazy way (didn't disconnect the 2p plug so i'm not sure if that makes a difference.

as you let the screw out (turn it counter clockwise) the idle will increase, as you push the screw in (turn it clockwise) it will decrease the idle speed. Sometimes you really need to turn that screw a lot for any changes to happen.

Thanks; I played with it this morning - and your right I really had to move that thing to hear any noticeable difference.

There is about 3 turns on it now; and the car idles a bit smoother. No idea what the RPM is but if the car lasts one more year; i'll be happy hahah..
