unscrew the grey cap on top of the idle control valve and twist it to the left until idle is where you want it also make sure u havent split one of the small vac lines and dont fully unscrew the screws just a little , enough to turn the cap on the icv

Any check engine light showing?
Does it feel like the throttle is sticking, or is it idle control valve related?
On a newage, the ISCV is on the top of the throttle body - may be worth taking the screws off the top of it, and cleaning out with brake cleaner.
