Sorry, I can't figure out how to post a picture on here, so here is the link to advance auto.

That would make sense. It spins but doesn't apparently do anything and I was reading in someones post where someone mentioned adjusting the IAC so i started wondering if that was some type of adjuster.
Thanks.
