Sounds like you need to adjust your throttle cable.

Where exactly is the bolt to change your idle? I tried searching and couldn't come up with anything. If you have a pic of where it is in the engine bay that would help considering I can't find things that great. Thanx guys.

Okay look straight on at your throtle body, you'll see a black cap right next to the throtle cable..if you have the DPFI if you have MPFI then im sorry that i cant help. Now back to subject pop the black cap off and there should be a screw so take a regular screwdriver and turn it clockwise to raise it, and counter clockwise to lower it. hope that helped.

Ok, for MPFI, look on the throttle body, you should see a brass screw that uses a flathead screw driver. It should be on the same side as the opening of the throttle body.
