But if you have another leak somewhere else now, running the screw all the way isn't going to stall the car since you have air coming from somewhere else.

But yes I still have something causing high idle (1200) with the idle screw all the way in. I could measure the differential with & w/o the tb, but don't know if there's a spec. I do know that when the idle was proper, I could stall the engine by running the idle screw all the way in (closed).
