Dumb question...

I can't seem to find out what this screw is on my... throttle body (I guess it's still called such even though it's direct port injection) it's where the throttle is attached but I guess it just controls ait flow... anyway, it's a set screw of some kind and it has a sticker that says "Do not turn counter clockwise" but of course it was backed almost all the way out from whomever owned it before me so i put it back to about where the orange paint matched. Thanks in advance...

The only set screw on my throttle body ('87) is an idle adjustment screw.

but what i don't get is why someone had it turned all the way out so that it wasn't touching the plate at all and it still seems to run the same.
