If it's a 98 diamante, it could very well mean that your o2 sensors are sending a bad reading to your engine. Sometimes it'll send to much fuel & air. Take it to your local parts store and have them hook it to a reader to be sure.

The idle on all fuel injected engines is controlled by the engine control module. There are no adjustments to be made.
