Default MFI idle co adjust guide?

A few weeks ago I found a link (think it was at fiestaturbo.com) where it described how you could setup the idle CO.
But now I have lost it and have been looking for 3 hours and havent found it

Anyone know this?

it should be on the metering head where the 4 red fuel lines are bolted on. you will need a 3mm allen key to adjust it

Yeah that's cool

But There was some information on that if you pressed the ehm... you know.. the thing.. yeah you know! the argh! the flat thing that goes down. It said that if you pressed it a little bit you could tell if it was running lean if the revs fell and rich if the revs rises.. but cant remember it it was rpm falling = lean or rich..

ive had this done plenty of time on mine you press the allen key down and i cant remember which way but if you lean the mixture the revs drop until the car stalls and if you make it rich the revs go higher. I think its anti clockwise for it to go lean and clockwise for it to go rich. You can also adjust the revs from the screw knob (not that kinda knob) on the inlet manifold hope this helps

Ahhh. cool
Thnx for understanding my late night english

Reason I want to do it was that I tried to press it a little today and the car stalled very fast And I have had problems with it getting warn (just under the red) when I drive it. so the last thing to try was to try and adjust the mixture. It's worst at idle. it just shoots right up below the red.. even in the winter

That screw you are talking about on the throttle body shot out 1 year ago.. so a bolt was put in as it was drawing in air and it would not run. So.. I am buying a new throttle body
