Last time I did this, I got pissed off and just removed the Idle Control Solenoid. But using a short replacement screwdriver bit (the ones that come in all the cheap ass 2000+ piece sets) and a tiny wrench should work as well. Until you drop it that is, so you may want to put a glob of chewing gum or piece of tape or something like that on it, to stick it together.

To get it out of the way, so both screws on the TPS are accessible with the tools on-hand. You could also remove the throttle body.
how much easier is taking off the ISC then the throttle body. Its not hard taking off the throttle body but its a pain in the ass to put on and off while duing the adjs. i guess i will take off ISC that way i can do all the adjs i need to.
You can remove the TB, but leave the coolant hoses on it. Just pull it up enough so you can get to that lower screw. Adjust your TPS, install a new TB gasket, and reinstall the TB. You'll be good to go.
I usualy like to do the TPS adjustment on the bench as its easier to work with, but doing it on the car this way isn't so bad either.
