Hi you should not have to adjust idle it is set at factory via control unit (computer) i would be looking for vacuum hose leak or displaced hose, or a stepper motor problem

Look for a small electric motor near the accelerator cable and near the top of the valve cover.

It's call IDLE AIR CONTROL (IAC) motor.

It's job is to increase the idle when load is added.
Example: turning on headlight,turning on AC.

Testing it is simple.

Warm up you car for 10 minutes.

Locate the IAC motor

turn on loads.....AC,headlights,etc


The motor should move the idle up


If the motor does not increase the RPM then it can be stick.

Try to give it few gentle taps to free up the gears.

It can be clean if your are up to it.


This electrical motor is very expensive. Please handle it with care.

====

The other trouble spot are

old accelerator cable

TPS Throttle position sensor

====

I will do a simple tune up and gas treatment before starting to replace any parts.
