its an Air Flow Meter. Its connected on your intake pipe and it has a flap that mesaures the resistance of the air thats coming into your engine. You can mess with the flaps on these things to have a leaner or richer mixture of fuel.

Thanks for the answer, I have a 2.2 and it does not have one. I have a Intake Air Sensor on my car.

I'm not sure actually, my head gasket went when I was about to do the mod. I've read about between 7-14 clicks? Some going as high as 20 clicks, though I would becareful if I was you. There are stories of the car not starting if you turn it too much.

You always index where it was at before you work... I made that mistake and ended up messing up with mine. I found that 7-10 worked... and you feel it from about 3500 rpm to redline if you have the throttle pinned.

There is no telling exactly what you are doing to the air fuel ratio, you need to borrow a wideband and get a bung welded in to measure the change in fueling. The thing is one click on the AFM is not the same amount of fuel as another click, you are dealing with a very worn out spring and everyone's will be a little different.

Yes, leaning the mixture heats it up and will increase your NOx emissions, though it may drop your carbon emissions slightly too...

If you have emission testing I wouldn't mess with it honestly.
