no response from idle adjustment screw

Two things. Loping when cold, runs fine once it warms up. (about a minute) Secondly, I have tried to adujust the idle with the big idle adjustment knob on the bottom of the throttle body and nothing happens.

Have you checked/cleaned the air mass meter?

That knob doesn't do much. Have you cleaned your throttle body? Also, check the intake hose for cracks and holes.
