There is no idle speed control. It is controlled by the computer.

Make sure the throttle unloader is not pushing up against the throttle "bracket." This looks like a small can with a vacuum hose attached to it.

The intake air control (IAC) valve controls idle speed. Might need cleaning.

Also check the coolant temp sensor going to the computer.
