This car does not have an idle air control motor. The idle speed is controlled by the throttle body, what problem are you having? Stalling at idle? This guide can help:

It cannot be adjusted; the computer sets the idle speed. I would service the throttle bore and check for vacuum leaks. This guide will help, and I have included instructions for your car in the images below:

Use this guide when the engine is cold only:
