[DML] Re: Tamper proof plug?

["vin4258" <vin4258@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

As I learned just weeks ago from a post here, the hole I think you 
are seeing is exactly what I see on mine and seems to be normal 
(plugged of course).  Between the air cleaner assembly and the fuel 
injector hoses at the fuel distributor is a tiny raised ring-looking 
thing with a hole in the center.  This looks like a screw or 
something should go there, but what you really need to do to adjust 
your mixture is get a 3mm allen wrench that is at least 100mm long 
and pop it down in there.  I am not sure of the specifics but I 
turned mine counter-clockwise about .25-.5 full turn to get my 
emissions to pass.  This was after I did a complete tune up which 
did not help the emissions results at all.  See all posts related to 
idle mixture adjustment screw within the past 2-3 weeks to get some 
great pictures from other members.
