What RPM does it idle at? Did you check your air filter as well? Did it just start happening? Does it when it's cold? warm? both?

You should not adjust the idle, the computer controls the idle. If your car is idling rough that means something is wrong. You could start by checking IAC, fuel filter, air filter, spark plugs. If no luck keep looking.

With your Idle being too low you need to Check it by disconnecting the electrical connecter from the Idle Air Control (IAC) valve.You'll have to pry out the consealment plug from the TOP of
the throttle.
Turn the screw to obtain the specified idle speed , then turn the engine off. Plug the connecter back in the IAC valve and remove the 7.5 amp BACK UP fuse from the fuse box for ten seconds

This will clear any trouble codes from the ECM's memory.
Then turn on your cars engine and let it Idle for one minute then ReCheck your Idle Speed.Put every thing back like it was connected before you started your project..

Hope this helps your Idle problem...

yep theres a flat head screw on top of your throttle body. turn it to the left to increase the idle. i like it when the iac just starts to hiss.....then its perfect
