It mean you don't have a vacuum leak. or it's so small it's not effecting fuel control. You should be able to adjust throttle body to increase IAC counts. You do want to watch both IAC and TPS values as you do it.

I'll adjust it either today or tomorrow. Will report back. So adjust it with a warm engine. Dumb question, but do I turn it clockwise or counter clockwise? So try and get it around 20 counts, and TPS voltage a tad lower?

don't go below .50 with TPS. turn screw counterclockwise 1/4 turn at a time. snap throttle then it idle stabilize. check readings. counter clockwise increase counts .clockwise reduces counts.

Turn the screw counter clockwise to close the blades and that will raise your IAC count. Don't worry about the TPIS on a 1993 it is non adjustable and the computer uses the lowest voltage reading as 0% throttle.

Thank you kevova and bjankuski. Just had a thought. If my throttle blades are open too much, wouldn't my idle be too high? It is plus or minus 50 rpm of the desired idle rpm. Not saying you guys are wrong, just curious. If I were to close the throttle plates, wouldn't my RPM decrease, being too low?
