RE: [DML] Fuel issues - Replaced nearly everything

[<rob@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Sean,

 

It?s the little raised plug between the fuel distributor and the air sensor
housing (under the air filter assembly). If it?s never been adjusted there
will be a plug to drill out (Oh joy!). Right to richen ?left to lean? play
with it till it gets better?there is no standard ?how much?. Eventually have
a shop set it up the right way as per the manual.

Just wanted to double check, the 3mm allen slot is (as you are 
looking at the distributor from the back of the car) the lower right 
hand side correct? 

How much do I want to turn it?

Which way does what?
