To adjust the idle on a 1989 Ford Tempo, first, ensure the engine is at operating temperature. Locate the idle air control (IAC) valve or the throttle stop screw on the throttle body. If you're adjusting the throttle stop screw, turn it clockwise to increase idle speed and counterclockwise to decrease it. After adjustments, recheck the idle speed using a tachometer to ensure it meets the manufacturer's specifications.

How do you adjust the idle on a fuel injected 89 Pontiac Sunbird?
If your engine is ideling fast its probably temperature senser. There is no adjustment for idle. that last answer is not entirely true. u can adjust the idle. but it depends on if its a throttle body unit that looks like a carburetor or a smaller unit. on a TBI unit, there is a screw u can adjust but the only way to adjust it is with the right tool. its not a Philips screw or straight blade. but if its idling high or fast it might be the idle air control valve. the one went out on my 1985 sunbird and caused it to idle funny.
