try this:
right above the throttle body where the intake connects to (upper left hand corner when your facing it) there is a screw that you can turn to help adjust the idle...that should work

tried that, all that did was increase or decrease the throttle response
what if i move the adjustment bolt up or down (whatever direction) and lock the other screw and set it that way at the idle i want?

thank that will work

that does work..
u have to tighten it so u remove the slack.. and once u do keep tightening it in the direction that removes slack so that it kinda pulls on the throttle a tad bit till u have ur idle were u want it..
did this to my gfs 94 alty the other day.. fuckin altimas have two throttle lines.. bitches.. but its still a nice car regardless

sometimes the idle doesnt move when u use that screw.

usually after i move that screw, i rev the engine and see where it settles...sometimes its soo bad that it wont move that the throttle body or something inside there is dirty....

u can adjust ur throttle cable more but i warn u about the deflection that it should be within spec..if not it wont operate right.

thanks guys...

i kno it cant be my throttle bodys dirty because i just put it on there. i reved the engine and everything then tried ajusting the screw....nuffin all it did was make the engine louder or quiter.

i adjust the nuts on the cable. now it idles at 1500rpm
im gona adjust it a few more times to get it at about 1000-1200rpm
