Default Civic Intake Manifold Tweak?

I was wondering if anyone know the name of this screw or knew how to set it or how it should be set. I screwed it all the way to the right but I'm not sure if I should have done that or not since I don't know the difference or what it's purpose is..

Here's a picture of the screw, I circled it in red.

it is the idel screw and it is on throttle body not intake manifold. it adjuts the idel rpm. u adjust your idel rpm when the car is warm up and at normal working temperature

Yeah, I screwed it to the right and the screw went lower so I guess it's good now. I also did the throttle cables but the lowest I can get my idle is in between 1k and 2k RPM. I tried lowering it more but I guess that's the lowest it'll go unless something else is wrong, lol.. hope not..

You adjust throttle cable right, between 1-2 is still high in my opinion. Should adjst it first by taking the IACV plug off then adjust the screw. Then turn off your car and plug the IACV back in reset ECU and done.
