Hi all,
I'd like to adjust engine speed by turning the idle speed adjusting screw.
But I can't find where it is. Can anyone tell me where it is located
exactly. Any input is greatly appreciated.

There isn't one. It's controlled by the computer.

there is one , and it is hard to find.

Way to complicated to try and describe on an bulletin board.

That's the mixture screw on older 80's AFM's.

You must be kidding! How hard can it be to describe it? If there is one,
where is it close by?

Thanks,

You have to check a whole of lot other stuff before starting to make
adjustments to the idle.  Need to check for fault codes.  Ignition
timing has to be checked at same time, some before setting idle others
in a loop check/set idle, check/set timing, check/set idle, check/set
timing...until you stop making adjustments.  Some you have to
disconnect the AAC valve when setting idle, others you disconnect the
TPS, then set base idle 50rpm below normal idle.  Can't tell you which
to disconnect.  When reconnected the ECU will control the ACC/IVAC to
set correct running idle.  You need the manual, $5 CD off E-bay, but
some you can download for free, I have UK S13/S14 manuals (25Mb pdf),
Pathy may be out there somewhere too you just have to look, peer 2
peer networks, bit torrent sites.

Lots of base idle screws are set wrong to compensate for accumulation
of dirt and coke in idle circuit, PCV, breather hoses, EGR, throttle
plate etc.  If the idle speed is wrong it means the ECU has lost
control of this function and something is wrong - FIX IT.

Pathy stalls at junctions".
