The screw is the idle speed adjuster. Turn it clockwise and the idle will increase.

T P S Sencor diagram .where is it, please!

Hi Sharon:
Accordint with this, on 1991 Honda Accord 2.2L FI 4cyl the Throttle Position Sensor is located under hood, center, rear engine area, mounted on throttle valve assembly.

11_23_2011_9_18_17_pm.gif

Fig. 1: The throttle body is attached to the intake manifold inlet. Always use a new gasket anytime the throttle body is removed-1990-93 Accord shown (others are similar)- CLICK HERE FOR IMAGE ZOOM The throttle position sensor is mounted on the side of the throttle body and is connected to the throttle shaft.
  1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
  2. If necessary, remove the throttle body for access.
  3. The sensor may be removed by unscrewing the retaining bolts.
  4. Reinstall in the reverse order of removal. Make certain the sensor is correctly mated with the throttle body shaft.

Hope this helps; also keep in mind that your feedback is important and I'll appreciate your time and consideration if you leave some testimonial comment about this answer.

I have 2004 honda vtx 1800c that won't idle when it's been sitting over night. Will idle after it's been driven for about 10 minutes. Any ideas.

i had same with my vtx 1800 i adjusted the idle , if you look to the left of engine between the pots there is a little plastic wheel on the end of a cable which goes to the throttle body, i think it is anti clockwise to increase. try this it worked ok for me however there is a cold start on these and it is operated by coolant temperature check your coolant level and top up if neccessary with the correct coolant as specified (not got info at hand)

How do I adjust the idle speed

If you look where the throttle cables are mounted to the throttle body, open the throttle when you close it check the point at which the throttle meets the stop, this is the point where the idle screw is addjusted, from this point on the underside you will see the screw has extension cable it will be visible on the underside from left hand side, right on some models

Left side .use a set of screwdrivers and insert between thehandle chrome ring and thecaliper assembly.gently andevenly pry the stock handle off.If a lot of resistance is felt put a drop of wd 40 and allow to loosen up the adhesive used by the factory.By the t[me you are half way offthe handle should be able to be twisted off. remember to wipe off the wd before installing new handle.. Right side remove philipshead screws on the throttle manacle[control] open it up like a **** and remove throttle cables from handle.the r. handle will now slide off bars
