Idle set screw
So all weekend I've racked my brain trying to find the procedure for setting the idle set screw on an 86 5.0 EFI. I tried every search possible on this forum and google, went to auto parts store and looked through manuals and found nothing. I need help in setting this screw so that I can replace the TPS. The screw was backed all the way out.

One is not supposed to mess with that screw, probably why it's so hard to find documentation on it.
I would return it to its factory setting.
If this can't be done, then with the IAC disconnected, I would adjust it so the engine just barely runs and is about to die. No idea if that's right or not but it's what I would do.
