GSL-SE idle held by cruise control
Been working on the mound today trying to fix the cruise control and set the idle and get everything tweaked. I've replaced the t-connector to my cruise control and fixed a vaccuum leak. As suspected the idle dropped so I tweaked it back up with the idle adjustment screw (air screw). I can get it to idle steadily at about 800 RPM. However, the idle is being held by the cruise control cable, which doesn't seem right to me. I haven't been out on the highway yet to see if my cruise works properly.
So, what controls the position of the idle, mechanically? Is there a stop screw, or is it held in place by the throttle cable, cruise cable, or something else? I assume that it should be held by a stop of somekind, and both the throttle cable and cruise cable should have just a bit of slack in them at idle, so they are not holding it. Is this correct?
Right on

On my 85 gsl-se, theres a screw on the front of the tb, hidden near the opposite side of the cruise control linkage. , if your tb is gettin worn out, you have to manually screw that in, no more than an eighth a turn a time, then check idle of car, do this while off. then fine tune your idle with aas on top of tb.
