Welcome to HAF!

I moved your post to another forum for more attention.

Idle Air Control Valve (IAVC) should be removed and cleaned (inlet screen and movement). Also clean throttle plate on both sides carefully w/ old tooth brush and throttle body. Hopefully this will improve idle.

Idle speed can be adjusted by disconnecting IACV, and adjusting idle air bypass bleed screw (TDC of throttle body inlet) to obtain 550 +/- 50 rpm. Reconnect IACV, and reset ECU by pulling BackUp fuse in underhood fuse box. Idle should stablize about 700-800 rpm and hold under AC and alternator load changes.

good luck

Well, I have a '92 and had a '93 prior.

My car idles at 750. If it drops to 650 it seems in danger of dying.
That said, I've not had to adjust idle. Dart, what is your idle rpm?

Whatever: luck, you've a great car ahead of you. Look forward to your photos.
