could be an inlet manifold gasket leak, mine had one.

grab a tin of "start ya bastard" or "aero start" and spray it around your enginebay anywhere you think there could be a leak, if theres a leak revs will increase.

idle adjustment is done on the idle control valve located at the rear of the manifold near the firewall from the drivers side. i can post up a picture this afternoon if you like.
