Adjusting idle?

Can someone tell me exactly how to adjust the idle on my '86 5.0 SEFI?  Can I do it?  I keep hearing about an idle screw but can't find the screw or any info on it in Haynes manual.  Thanks!

iirc it's underneath the throttle body. you should probably adjust the tps when you adjust the throttle plate as well

Are you really supposed to mess with the idle screw on an SEFI car?  I thought that was a last resort and you should instead find out what's causing the low idle, because that screw certainly doesn't move on it's own and probably isn't the casue of the problem.
