Top 1. The one that look like a long nut with plug at the end. Dus it control engine idle? Or idle up when aircon switched on?

If I unplug it nuting happens with the idle even if I put on aircon. Cant get the idle down. It idles a 1500rpm.

Make sure you don't have a vacuum leak. One of the small pipes by the intake mani.

Then I'd do what rat suggested, start looking for air leaks. Or maybe the "choke" / cold start auxiliary air valve is stuck open?
