FITV, screw keeps backing out
Ok here's the problem...had idle problems with uberdata, sometimes rolling up to a light in neutral it would just die out. So recently i retuned on crome, took the FITV out, tightened it up, and fixed up my idle, sat at 900 no problem.
Within a week or two my idle started rising towards 2k and sitting there for a while, sometimes going down to 1500. Now yesterday and this morning it'll warm up then start surging from 1000 - 2500. I know it has to be my FITV screw that keeps backing out.
But what can i do to prevent tightening the screw every few weeks, its pretty annoying. I normally tighten it with a flat head and i'll push the screw as hard ask i can to make it tighten up. Do maybe i need a new screw cause mine is worn? Also what tool would be better to possibly tighten it up even more. The previous time i tightened it was like 7 months ago, but when it started getting colder, the crappy idle follows.
Any input/comments would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys

Blue has a lower breaking point over red. I would highly reccomend using the blue if you must use loctite. Thread sealer will work just as well as will silicone and be a much better, less permanent solution.
