Idle Screw On TB Rotates Over Time

For the last few weeks I have noticed that the idle on my Runner was getting high, again. I shorted the test connector, adjusted the idle and timing, good to go. I though this was odd, so I marked the position of the idle screw in the TB. It is really easy to turn. Yup, last night I got home and saw that it had moved about 1/16th of a turn.

Any ideas on what to put on the threads to tighten it up?

I thought about teflon tape and or some type of thread locker, but I don't want anything getting loose and getting sucked into the motor.

Thanks,

Mike

Pull the screw out and replace the o-ring on it.

Thanks Abe, I did not even know there was an O-Ring on there. That will definitely do the trick.

Always something new to learn.
