My GF's 1998 Saturn SW1 needs the fast idle adjusted, when cold, it revs
up to as high as 3,000 RPM'S Way too high. After about 30-45 seconds of
warm up, It slows down to a normal 800 RPM or so.
Are there any specific steps I need to know? if not, where would I find
the adjustment screw?
I want to make sure I do this by the book.
It has 50,000 Miles and the only maintenance I know of is the serpentine
belt change. So IM assuming the plugs and other tune-up items haven't
been changed

Ill be doing a tune up on it in the next few weeks.
Plugs & Wire set
Rotor (assuming it's NOT distributor-less)
Gas filter
Air Filter
Radiator Flush
Transmission/Transaxle flush (Or is this FWD tranny sealed? requiring no
maintenance?)
Any other maint. tips?

sorry, this car is new to me... lol :)
Any help is greatly appreciated!!
