NOTE: If the idle speed is higher than the standard value even with the SAS fully tightened, check for evidence of the closed throttle position switch
being moved.

If it appears to have been moved, adjust it.

If there is no evidence of adjustment, suspect a deteriorated fast idle air valve, replace throttle body if this is the case.
