Subject:Throttle Valve Stop Screw Adjustment.

Hi all.

When idle stop screw is set correctly, should the throttle valve be
blocking the EVAP (canister purge) hole in throttle body?

I removed a small divot worn on face where stop screw rests. This divot
would allow the stop screw to compress my 0.076 mm feeler gauge a little
and leave a dent.

The idle stop screw had red adhesive keeping it in place. I am checking,
resetting this screw and will reapply adhesive of some kind.

Possibly moot given the throttle body wear but  it seems to me that the
valve is thick-ish at that point to stop a vacuum from being applied to the
EVAP canister purge valve.

Thanks

Neil.
