Couldn't you just tighten the throttle cable?

Turning the stop screw on the side of the throttle body will raise your idle. That's what I did to mine to raise it up a bit.

It has NO adjusting head on it, so you have to use a SMALL vice grip to turn it.

doug, I could be wrong here but during idle your TB blade is almost shut and the air flows around the TB via AIC and a tiny bit by the blade. If you crank the screw you allow more air b the blade which flows into the intake raising the idle. The tuner has not control over the idle screw and should be set at the "normal" spot. If the TB stop screw isn't set correctly a good tuner wouldn't program around it, they would fix the problem and go from there.
There are numerous things that screw up the idle and a majority of the time it's screwed up by the person installing the TB.
The stalling issue (if it is idle related) can be resolved by means other than raising the idle. I just talked to SVT about this. If method 1 fails approval they will move on to method 2. But it will surely be fixed. Ford can't risk NOT fixing it. The legal ramifications and number of reported instances makes it a must-fix. The consequences are obvious, both from a legal and financial standpoint.Originally posted by dougwg
I'm not sayin he shouldn't try it....
it's just that when most people try this ... it goes back after a little while...
Stalling sucks.... I'm glad you "fixed" yours...
the problem is that the car is supposed to idle at 647 RPM cuz of exhaust emitions.... and ford has to get a higher idle setting past the EPA... which I doubt will happen....
That being said... I doubt we will ever see a true fix for stalling
