Are you saying the cold idle speed is set too low?

Does the engine run and idle fine after engine is warmed up?

NO.. i am talking about the valve train clearance.
the the idle is fine after engine warn up.
Before I did the adjustment, the idle is good when cold start. after i did the adjustment, i need to keep little throttle open until to engine warm.

Thanks for your help ^^
