You can't turn the idle speed down as it's controlled by the ECU. On carb'd cars you can adjust it by turning a screw I believe.

Yeah on older cars you can do that as I used to do that on my old G reg mk2 Golf but pretty much all newish cars (ie. 93> idle is controlled by the ECU.

I think some mechanical injectional cars don't have ECUs but you can "manually" adjust the idle. For instance, the Ford Escort, the RS Turbo had an ECU but the other standard models had mechanical injection with no ECU. I might be wrong though, but I'm pretty sure that is correct.

Can't you get one from a dead 106 instead of buying a brand new one?
