The adjusting screw in the top front of the throttle

body fell out on my way home tonight. Thought it was a Halloween prank because of the rather loud whistle noise it made. Are they available? And what would happen if I just put a bolt in it for now?

Bolt wont work..

I too had that same problem.

Fell out, and the craziest noise!

Ended up puttting a dab of silicone goop over top the adjuster, so it won't come out again.

Problem is, a bolt won't have the pointed tip that the adjsuting screw has. THe bolt will stop the noise, but you'll probably still have a really high idle.

FYI: The adjuster from a MC motor won't work in a URQ intake maifold either! It'll fit, but it won't adjust the idle airflow..

I put one of those rubber boots over the
idle screw after it happened to me. I figured
at least that would catch the screw and stop
it chipping the bonnet.
