Idle screw is the round headed screw on a spring under the throttle body. As said tho, check other things first before messing with that otherwise you could mess up the balance and make things worse!

Christ... Now ya asking!

Main ones would be the simple ones first: Oil Filler Cap, Dipstick, Dump Valve, Breather System, Boost hose clips, any signs or wear/tear on any pipe etc etc etc

Seriously tho, how long has this been like this? Has the car been sat for ages? Have you been driving it like this for a while? Have you recently changed anything engine wise?
A little more info could help...
