Default help w/intake setting...

ok, the motor is the stock cx motor in a 99 civic hatch, and a while back a friend of mine told me i could adjust that screw behind the throttle body to make it quicker while rolling. well now i've messed with it a few times to get more/less air, got into a wreck and had to redo my whole a/c system and my car bogs with the a/c on, so i'd like to put that screw back to stock position. my question is is there any way to put it back to stock, like how many complete turns from all the way down or up? anyone?

Can't help you, get ahold of a helms manual or something that would be the best bet

there is no stock setting, factory calibrated for each particular vehicle. keep playing w/ it a little bit each day and eventually you will get it right.
