Default WTF?? idle problem....

ok, i have a 93 si hatch with stock D16z6 motor with 180,xxx miles on it. Lately i have been having problems with the car starting and idleing. i tracked it down to the dizzy and replaced the ignition coil and wala... it worked for the starting part but i still have an idleing problem. when i first start it, idles fine a little above 1000 rpms but after it warms up it idles at 100-200 rpms, but funny thing, when the fan turns on it goes up to around 400-600 rpms. If i turn my lights on while the fan is on my rpms go to 700-800 rpms. Also if the fan isn't on and i turn on my lights on nothing changes. WTF?? i have no clue what the problem is. Any Help???? TIA!!

and an e-beer if you know what the problem is

Simple turn your idle up..

Heres some info i know from the haynes manual.

1) turn your idler screw on the throttle body to the left as need be to raise the idle.

2)Pull the ''spare/backup fuse'' from underneath the hood for 15 seconds and this will reset your idle.

Start up and repeat to get your idle perfect...OH and btw stock tach's are incorrect
your probally not actually idleing at 100-200 your engine would stall out.

goodluck
