On my 86 accord LXI there is a screw loose on the intake. The screw is striped in the first 3 or 4 threads and will not screw in. It's held roughly in place by a vacum hose. It wobles about and there seems to be air going into the hole when I take it out. I don't think it's hurting anything, but what do I know eh? Thoughts?

Oh, also, sometimes when the car idles, the PGM-FI light pops up and the engine starts a slow rev-drop rev-drop rev-drop instead of a constant idle. Is this related?

it could be related, but generally from what i've seen, check your fast idle control valve..... screw it down pretty good.

With the intake, is the screw long enough to cut off the bad part?
