Fast idling of an engine when it is cold typically indicates that the engine's cold start enrichment system is functioning, which allows for a richer fuel-air mixture to aid in starting and warming up the engine. This is common in carbureted engines or can be managed by the engine control unit in modern fuel-injected engines. If the engine continues to idle fast after warming up, it may suggest issues like a malfunctioning idle air control valve or vacuum leaks.

How do you adjust the idle speed on 92 350?

I believe that is controlled by the ECM. If the engine is idling too fast, check the EGR valve. It is to the right (from the drivers perspective) of the throttle body. If the EGR valve is damaged or the gasket is missing it could allow the engine to idle far too fast.

The idle is not adjustable.You have other problems if it's idling to fast are to slow.The throttle plates are calibrated / preset at the factory.Is the check engine light on ?? If it is, then you need to have the engine scanned with a engine scanner to check the emission system and sensors. It will also help your idling problem after you repair the problem that made the check engine light come on. If you don't find your problem in that area. then PLEASE ask your question again.
