The fsm proc for setting idle without a consult pretty much works for the VE.
With Dre's help, this is what I've done:
For the cold air idle, take an 8mm box end for the lock nut and a 4mm (I think) allen, screw IN the set screw a good ways - almost but not quite flush with the locknut (don't want to strip the threads). That ought to take your cold idle down to somewhere around 1500-2k.
Warm it up.
With everything warm and plugged in, hold revs at 2k for about 2 minutes, then race it to 3-3500 a couple times, shut it off, unplug the tps, fire it back up, rev it a couple times, let it settle down. CHECK to make sure your timing is where you want it. (the proc is the same for base timing, ususally 17 degrees btdc at around 800 revs) CLOSE the IACV knob on the VE manifold (turn clockwise from the passenger side) DO NOT tighten hard. Assuming it's still running, set your base idle to where you want it with the idle set screw on the throttle (it's on top between the cable wheel and the tb). I know this isn't in the fsm, but this way you get to use the IACV knob to fine tune when you're done. I did 900 using the tb set screw as mine idles relatively smoothly there and I don't shake the woman out of the passenger seat. MAKE SURE it's open enough so that the throttle plate isn't binding in the tb (you'll feel it stick if it's too far closed, open it up at least enough so that it doesn't bind as you open it.). Shut it down, plug the tps connector back in, fire it up, go fiddle with the IACV knob to your heart's content, and you should be home.
