To adjust the idle on a 1986 Ford Tempo, locate the idle air adjustment screw on the throttle body. With the engine warmed up, use a tachometer to monitor the RPM. Turn the screw clockwise to increase the idle speed or counterclockwise to decrease it, aiming for the specified RPM in the owner's manual. After adjustments, ensure the engine runs smoothly and check for any vacuum leaks that could affect idle performance.
