Re: Lower the idle
There isn't any sort of mechanical idle adjustment, and fiddling with the throttle cables is probably not such a good idea.

Re: Lower the idle
Messing with the throttle cable wont help. you can completely remove them and you idle will be the same. The idle on our cars is set by the ecu. Messing wih the set screws for your butterfly valves on the tb can alter idle, but it is not advisable since it changes the AFR

Re: Lower the idle
if you are idling too high you might have a vacuum leak or your tps is misadjusted. the idle will change if you move the tps around.

Additionally, what year is the car and how many miles? What major maintenance has been done recently?

Re: Lower the idle
Should be idling at 750 after a few seconds which is pretty slow.

Re: Lower the idle
Yes and no....I removed my throttlebody to replace a valve....I never adjusted my tps or had a vacuum leak and I now have a higher idle. I didn't adjust anything...so mine is a weird one that I'm still trying to figure out.
