idle Speed Adjustment

Just wondering whether this screw also adjusts the idle speed. From what I've heard it does but I can't get the screw to budge clockwise or anti-clockwise.

The orientation of this photo is upright and I've circled the screw/s in question.

Spot on sir! That's exactly what I wanted to hear. Does this screw also control if your throttle body butterfly is slightly open or not?

Thanks for the help Jono. I was wondering why my car was idling at 3500rpm just after I've installed my new stepper motor.

Turns out it was a combination of my mechanic manually adjusting my throttle butterfly to be slightly open at idle speed and me making the accelerator cable to tight. :oops:

And AJ appreciate the help but the oil pressure valve that you pointed out was already in fully closed position.
