Default HELP! tried adjusting my friends idle, but now the cluster won't work!

ok, he has a 93' honda del sol, and his idle was way too high (around 1.5-2k rpm) so i searched, and found this link, https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=722721. just to make sure, your suppose to take out 2 bolts right? i looked at his IM and are the 2 bolts suppose to be behind the IM and on the top part of it? we took it out, and we couldn't find any bolt to turn so we decided to put the little motor looking thing back on, and see if anything happend, and now the whole cluster isn't working the cluster lights turn on, but nothing else is working someone please help us!!

I hate to tell you this, but the word "bolt" is nowhere to be found on that page. I don't know what you did, but it wasn't right. Bump^ Give this guy some help.

no not that, its a small SCREW that u need a flat-head to turn, it's on top of the T-body, firewall side.
1. remove the IAC valve( its on the T-body firewall side, held my two screws,
kinda looks like a motor with two small hose attached to it at the bottom of it)
clean the mesh on the inside with carb-cleaner to remove any build up.
Disconnect the wires from this piece, u should see a sudden drop in idle.
2. start truning the screw till u get an idle of 450 to 500.
3. when done, turn car off and connect Everything back to its place.
4. remove the back-up fuse located in the engine fuse-box for say 10 mins
then replace it back.
5. turn car on and make sure u got nothing ON, AC wipers,lights, and blah blah.
check to see if u got a nice idle, if not check ur hose for leaks.


ok, i guess it's screws, but even if i took the wrong motor looking thing out...i put it back in, and now my friend's cluster isn't working...even his windows!

I don't think the windows have anything to do with stuff under the hood. You can run with the IAC unplugged and the tach will still work too... 1st things 1st, check fuses.
