warm the car up to operating temp loosen the distributor hold down bolts just enough so you can move the distributor (3 bolts) connect a inductive timing light pickup on #1 cylinder (one closest to the timing belt) jump the terminals at the ignition timing connector under the passenger floor mat a light gray connector with green/white and brown wires set the timing light to 16 degrees and see where the marks line up to the pointer there are 2 marks on the crankshaft pulley a single yellow and 3 (2 yellow with a red in the middle) the pointer is a little bump sticking out from the timing belt cover the pointer should be on the red mark at 16 degrees =/- 2 degrees at 750 rpm =/- 50 rpm to advance the timing turn the distributor counterclockwise to retard turn clockwise or was it the other way around? well you will know by sound your advancing it if the idle speeds up and retarding it if it slows down and starts idling badly and if you don't have a timing light you can also do it by the sound and feel of the engine just adjust the distributor until you get it where you like but if you do it like that your timing is almost surely going to be off

The idle speed is factory pre-set, and no adjustment is available. If the idle is too high, or too low, you will be having other problems that will affect the idle. In cooler temperatures, it will take the engine longer to come out of fast idle, as the engine warms up to operating temp. If the idle is too high/stays at a higher than normal idle, then take the thing to get it repaired. Running a car in gear(automatic transmission) with a higher than normal idle, can damage the transmission.
