I appreciate the tip. 

Uh...my brass screws are all shut I believe. When I first got the car,
I read in the manual that they were supposed to be shut, so I checked
them. I had hardly put -any- force on them when I hit the stops and 2
of 3 just snapped right off. I was told not to worry about them since
they should be shut.

My idle speed regulator is brand-new. Like everything else....and it
is humming. I'm definitely keen on trying new things so I'll do it. By
the way, is there a specific direction it should be installed? I
wouldn't think so, because when it's open it's open and closed is
closed. Either way air is going to flow or not depending on the valve
position but you never know...

So if it's only supposed to be in there one way let me know.

After reading that last dude's article where his idle reg was stuck
shut, I'm all for trying it out. I have been holding down the gas
pedal 1/4 of the way.

I even tried yet another trick Bill at DMCH told me. I disabled the
ignition to see if the spark was so retarded (early) that it was
impeding the upward stroke of the pistons. Alas, it was not to be. It
had no effect.

Thanks guys, keep 'em coming. I'm not quitting yet.
