How do you adjust the idling on a fuel injected 1600 SOHC Opel engine?

The idling speed cannot be adjusted for fuel injected models. It is done by the ECU depending on inputs from various sensors. If the idling is erratic it is best if the car is taken to the vauxhall dealership who have testing equipment called TECH 2 which diagnoses the problem.

The first thing to check if a fuel injected car is idling high is look for (listen for) a vacumn leak. look for a broken vacumn hose. 2nd, check the idle air control (the IAC) - However, if it is a carburetted car then you need to set the idle lower.
