Throttle body stop screw!

I was cleaning the throttle body out and well you can say I was bored and I moved the damn stop screw . I need your help guys I haven't gotten the idle where its supposed to be its either a bit to high or too low. I have no access to a volt meter to check the TPS voltage but I'm not far away from setting the ideal idle. Can several of you guys please post pics of how far it is screwed in more less. It would be greatly appreciated. And prior to moving it, it idled fine so I know its my fault for moving the screw.

you say you were cleaning the throttle body? what did you use to do this? its possible you may have damaged the idle air control valve.

No not possible I took that off, I only cleaned the throttle body with TB cleaner. The IAC is not even old, it was idling fine but I know its because I moved the screw and the TPS might be confused now! someone post pics please!!!

slight problem it came like that, I believe that 5.0 explorers had a 8.8 rear end with LSD. other than that a swap maybe for a f150 that has LSD or go aftermarket but they are pricey!

thanks for both really really appreciate it, I shall adjust later. well it ain't stock because my axle code is 19 and that is a regular open differential the code for a 3.55 with LSD on a f150 I believe would be H9. just google "axle codes ford trucks" and it should pop out. its like a glossary thingy on this website. glad I could help you even if it was a little lol and thank you sir for the pics
