Default My car idles really low!

I got a 93 Civic Si, and it's idling between probably 150 and 200. Shouldn't it be more like 750?

How do I fix that?

how long has it been doing that?
do you have a check engine light?
does it ever go up or back down?

2 possible solutions
a. the screws behind the dash where your tach is, is loose
b. you can use a 12mm socket to adjust the throttle cable above the fuel rail, that can be a bandaid to your idle problem
