Are you having idle problems? Your idle should be around 750 rpm (+/- 50 rpm). If it is not then start with your idle set screw.

Can you tell us what your idle is reading and what it is jumping to? Also, we need some more info. ie - what year Accord, what motor, mods done, etc....

Bleed air screw setting won't affect performance while throttle is open on the road.

Idle is set w/ the ICV disconnected. Fully warm engine and set to 550 rpm + /- 50 rpm. Reconnect ICV, and pull BACK UP fuse for 10 seconds to clear CEL. Idle speed should be 700 rpm +/- 50 rpm.

Missing is more likely bad plug or wire breaking down under load.

good luck
