Hopefully, nobody ever screwed with the throttle body stop screw. If they did, use this to get it back to stock.

Cruiser’s Renix Throttle Body Butterfly Adjustment
Okay. Let's start from scratch. First off, that's not an idle adjustment screw. It's a throttle butterfly stop screw. It's purpose is to allow the butterfly to be as close to completely closed as it can be without binding or wearing into the throttle body. It was never intended to be adjusted in the field. But, Uncle bob didn’t know that, did he?

Engine off. Back off the butterfly stop screw with a 3/32" allen wrench until the butterfly is completely closed. Now. turn the screw in until the FAINTEST movement of the butterfly opening is detected. This can be done more easily with the throttle body removed. If you remove the throttle body, be sure to replace the gasket underneath it after thoroughly cleaning the old one off.

Where have I seen that issue before? Lol. The dpo "damn previous owner" of my jeep ruined the stop screw in mine. The only way I could fix it, was to carefully bend the throttle tab back. I dumped so much money into sensor on my jeep, and that stop screw was my issue lol.

Uncle Clem or Cousin Melvin was probably helping the DPO out.
