Re: idle question
Welcome !
Did you do a Search here for the info?
It varies for MT and AT.
An excellent info source is the AutoZone site.
The link to the site is: http://www.autozone.com/shopping/repairGuide.htm
This is even better than the FSM (available on our site) - plus, it has photos, whereas the FSM has only diagrams.
This also has all of the vac diagrams.

Usually on the sticker under the hood or shoot for something below 1K rpm?
Give a boy a gun-give a biatch a cell phone-and pretty soon you almost got yourself a police state.

Re: idle question
According to the FSM, Idle speed depends on Whether you have AC, PS, and or an auto trans. if you have none of those, it should be 650 +_150, add PS, it should go up by 100, etc.-- AS Archinstl said, check your underhood sticker.
