Best Answer

The idle is not adjustable. It is computer controlled with a idle air control motor that is on the back of the throttle body. If your idle speed is incorrect you either have a computer that has "forgot" how to idle or a sensor issue. You need to have it checked for codes, if no codes you need to reset the computer's memory. You can reset the memory by unhooking the battery for 5 minutes. If it now idles properly you should have the battery tested, a weak battery can cause the computer to "forget" how to idle.
