Fast Idle Valve-open it (2 phillips screws) and turn it all the way down with a flathead. Idle Air Control- remove from intake manifold (2 or 3 12mm bolts) clean it, replace it or block it off. As far as the speedometer, change your Vehicle Speed Sensor that sits on top of the transmission in the area under your thermostat housing.

If that doesn't work, check for vacuum leaks.
