Thank you for this video. My 03 had a code for IAC and this helped with replacing it. Working on cars is intimidating for me and this helped a lot. Thank you
Isn't the screw you're talking about in 11:08 the infamous "no touch screw"? I'm trying to set idle for my 95' Miata after cleaning the throttle body (before it was 800RPM, now 1000-1500), but I can't find the definitive answer which screw should and shouldn't be touched.
I believe it is the no touch screw but you have to adjust it for idle speed. This was told to me by my Miata mechanic and he's been fixing Miata's for years. Also I believe the manuals will tell you that only the dealer should touch the screw that's how it got the name of the no touch screw. There are other videos on UA-cam that address setting the idle on the Miata. My problem was finding what was causing my Miata to act the way it did and I found adjusting the idle fixed the problem.
Hey Bob! Thanks so much for posting. My 96 m edition has the same weird bucking bronco affect. My wife and I have troubleshooted everything you said in the video-except the idle speed adjustment. We will try that next! Also, is little red still running good now?

Yes Lil' Red is running great since I did that. Please let me know if that fixes it for you. Good Luck.
