[QUOTE="Micra Steve, post: 718379, member: 19866"] Thanks for the input Frank - I thought that the idle should be adjusted via the diagnostic port - but am I doing any harm by using the throttle stop screw? Is there an easy way to get some software that can make simple adjustments? My OBD2 scanner is quite good, but it just reads data - it can't actually CHANGE anything. Marc - thanks for the help mate, much appreciated - please get a second opinion on the size/type of the MAF screw though before you buy one - I'm not 100% certain I'm right. Took the car out to the car boot sale this morning and noticed something interesting - the car was idling a bit better - still very low, but it wasn't stalling. Then I turned my headlights off and the idle dropped back down to how it usually is! Definately some clue there - I put my lights on and the revs are noticeably a touch higher - still not perfect, but at least the car is driveable and not cutting out when I stop at junctions.
