Sure you can. Just turn the air bleed screw on the throttle body if you just want to bump it up or down a little.

 

yea that will work until the iac compensates for it and brings it back to where it was

 

..isn't just a cable and a little screw.... I think that you CAN adjust it!!!

What Chio said is correct , u can adjust the screw,,i have done it a zillion times with no problems ,,, turn it clockwise you lower it, counterclock raises the idle ..if you raise the idle too much the engine will surge ,, you waqnt to be at about 700-750

The iac will be commanded to take some of the adjustment back, but the ECU isn't smart enough in the 97 models to do it much.

Turn on the engine, disconnect the IAC then adjust the screw. Turn off the engine, plug back the IAC.

The passage could be partially clogged up with crud. Try taking the bleed screw out and hosing the hole out with t/b cleaner.
