where the throttle cable meets the throttle body, you shoud see a screw, simply tighten the screw to increase idle.

if your sure of that try tightening up the throttle cable. i have yet to see a vehicle without a idle adjust screw of some sort.

If have looked and looked, no idle screw. I need to slow down the idle so tighting the throtel cable won't work. Any other suggestions?
