Idle Air Adjust Screw In Thingo.

[BASHO]

I've inadvertently rounded out the philips screw hole in the idle air adjust screw thingo, which, for those who do not know as I didn't, is actualy plastic, so beware !

I'm looking for the part No as Nissan , though very helpfull , couldn't locate it and niether could I when the showed me the parts schematic, every damn thing was shown except the screwy thingo.

So--anyone know the part No ??

And anyone got any idea as to getting the sucker out ?

Anyone got a spare one they would like to sell ?

call nisswreck I think they have a GTT in stock so they might be able to sell it to ya if they still have it.

Mine doesn't do jack shit ..unscrewed all the way and the car idles the same ... first thought was a vaccum leak somewhere after the butterfly* but pressurizing the whole engine with a smoke machine revealed no leaks.

(* what my mechanic said)

Possible thought on removing it would be to heat up the end of a flat head screwdriver and push it into the plastic. Might give you enough grip to remove it.

Thanks for that , tried them , no go. tried nissan-t no go and they told me when no part No is shown but the part is present then that part will be part of the larger part which is shown and a part no shown for it. so that means that to replace the adjust screw you have to buy the entire AAC valve set up at around $600.00 sheeesh .

So, not surprisingly, I'm still looking.

Good thinking ,I'm wanting to clean out the AAC valve so I've got a very small easy-out bit thingo from Bunnings and that should get it whilst the thing is orf, the real problem will be replacing it, I'm thinking of drilling and setting a small self tapper in the adjusting bolt/screw with 222-02 locktight , the only other alternative I can see is to find a same sized bolt and have one turned to suite or cut a groove in the top whilst the valve is out

There's not much chance of doing anything whilst the valve is still in other than what you suggest, and you can just imagine the fun when the idiot thet stripped it in the first place starts playing round with red hot screwdrivers under the bonnet, he he.
