Default how do you adjust the throttle on a b18c1

my car is idling too low, ive have tried to adjust the throttle cable but it has that nut on the other side that you cant turn cause the metal bracket that holds the cable is bent around it. Someone should know what im talking about.....please help..thanks.

the adjustment screw was on the side of the TB and it was covered with putty like you said. i chipped the putty off and tried to etch out the putty in the screw crack, i couldnt turn the screw with a screwdriver. Any ideas of what could eat it out?????

clean it out as good as possible, then spray some lubricant on it. let it sit for a few minutes then get a bigass flathead and go at it. it will turn eventually.

The only eninge mods are, CAI,magnecor wires, and iridium plugs.

yeah, i turned it left, as that would be backing it out, but it stopped, i couldnt turn it without stripping the screw, damn honda, they only made the indention like 1mm deep. what to do????? right now the idle is at like 690rpm........
