Thanks for your question. If it is a SEFI enfine the idle should be controlled by the computer, and if it is CFI this a vacuum kicker and an adjusting screw to adjust. If the SEFI has idle problems, it might have other issues going on.

SEFI = Multiple injectors 8

CFI = 2 injectors in the center where the carb would be.
