HELP to get my throttle back to where it was!!

I really need help. I followed that DIY for the throttle and it messed up my car. It doesn't seem like it drives the same. Anyone who hasn't done this yet, can you please measure how far the screw is on the bolt. I want to put my back to where it was but I don't know how far to put the screw back. Would a Honda service department know where it is supposed to be? I think I might just take it to them because it's under waranty. But if anyone can help me that would be great

You go ahead and take that back to the dealer. You adjusted that, which could actually VOID your warranty and they will do nothing. I would measure how far, but mine's been adjusted. Mine is about as tight as it will go, maybe even too tight...

Why is your car messed up? What is going on with the car that makes it seem messed up?

I don't know it just doesn't drive the same anymore. It idles at like 600 RPMS instead of 1000RPMS. What should I do? Do you know where at your nut was before you changed it?

Dude if your car is idling at 1000, that was a little to high...it is supposed to idle at 700-900 RPM after it is warm.
