How do you set idle speed on a 1996 Mazda Protege?

To set the idle speed on a 1996 Mazda Protege, first ensure the engine is at normal operating temperature. Locate the idle air control (IAC) valve, which is typically on the throttle body, and check for any vacuum leaks or issues. If adjustments are necessary, you may need to use a scan tool to reset the IAC learning procedure, as the idle speed is electronically controlled. Always refer to the vehicle's service manual for specific procedures and specifications.
