Default fast idle screw/Does this happen to anyone else.

So I I am looking for a way to get just the fast idle screw for the throttle on a 97 base. I have looked all over cant find just the screw. I called honda and they said i have to buy the whole throttle which is 700$ So if anyone has it Let me know how I can get another on.the selt belts on my lude always get in the way of the door it was like that on my 91 lude to,also when I go to hit my defrost button on the climate controls the button lites up does that happen to anyone here?

please make separate posts for separate questions.

1) i have never heard of a replacement just for the idle set screw. you will probably have to get one machined or go pick up a new tb from a junkyard

2) i thought i remember hearing you can get your seatbelt replaced under warranty if a certain amount of slack exists upon retraction

3) isn't the light supposed to go on when you choose something on the climate control? what is actually the problem?

If I hit the defrost option while the heat is on then the ac button lights up and stays on untill I hit the ac button again and turn it off.

That's normal.

If your throttle screw wasn't in place I'd think you would have big idle issues.

its not I had to find a really long screw with a nut to keep it from falling out. Kind of, looks like the screw for the outlet box you put in a wall and it is sitting on a nut so that the car doesnt idle really low but it is still a little low on the idle because the lights dim if I let it idle.
