Paul, There is nothing wrong with 1000 RPM's at idle. But if you would like
to see it go lower just to have to bring it back up again. You can play with
the two screws on the throttle body lever. Back the lower screw out as if
you were taking the idle down to 500 let's say. Then as your going down the
top screw for the micro switch might be keeping the idle from going down
further. If it is then back it out also as to let the idle go down. If the
idle doesn't change much, then leave the screws adjusted down or out and
note where the idle is and then look around for the loose vacuum hose or
what ever might be causing the problem. When you find it,the screws are set
to let the vacuum go down. Fix the problem if it's the hoses and then re
adjust the screws to the idle speed you desire.While your looking, be sure
to tap on the idle speed motor and try to make sure the valve in it is
working.

Now you've got me hooked, I've always struggled to get an idle I'm happy
with, and have settled for 1000rpm after trying many different options.

Whilst playing and adjusting last weekend I was checking all my vacuum
connection and definitely remember that there was strong suction on the
vacuum advance pipe when I disconnected it. car was running sat on the
drive!
