i had a s10 several years. eventually, it would idle bad. as time went on, it would go dead at stops. i used cheap injector cleaner 2 times with no result. i purchased the most expensive chevron cleaner and it cleared up. also, there should be an idle air speed solenoid which could have a problem on your vehicle. if it idles lopey, it could even be a vacuum leak. i had a f150 which loped. after 2x in the dealership and 600.00 later, i myself, found a vacuum leak because it made a high pitched whistling sound in cold temperatures.
does the engine have a carburetor or is it fuel injected? A carbed engine has mixture screws along with a base idle screw, a fuel injected engine the idle is computer controlled.
May be controlled by computer and non-adjustable
Well FORD is a pos, Fixed Or Repaired Dailiy Found On Road Dead
probably a bad idle air controller.

If you have a carburetor, there is a crew on the driver side behind the throttle cable it usually has a spring on it if you turn it to the right it idles up left it idles down If its a fuel injected motor idle is handled by the computer. There usually is a "base idle speed" around 800-1000 RPM. This normally doesn't need to be adjusted. Have a look for carbon build up on the butterfly as well, this will influence idle too.
Modern fuel injected cars, no.
fuel injected or carburetor?injected - the idle can be adjusted via a diagnostic computer.carb - you can adjust the idle under the carb very easily.
You probably can't. fuel injected cars have the idle set by the ecm.
35-40 psi while engine is off. 28- 35 psi at engine idle. -jonny b.
Turn the idle nob on the ecu counter clockwise a little until you get the idle you want.
all depends if it's carburated or fuel injected.
