For some reason this post makes me hear "...then lobbest thou thy holy hand grenade...".



plnoldrick's description is pretty close. Steps 1-5 are pretty much what the Helm's says with the exceptions of a) you would probably be better off disconnecting the IAC with the engine already idling as the Helm's states, and b) 500-600 is indeed the acceptable range but 550 is the preferred target. Steps 6-10 are not any magic learning formula -- they are the setup parameters that you are then supposed to verify correct idle speed at each of those steps after you've set the base idle in steps 1-5. That is, idle speed should be 700 +/- 50 RPM after step 7, and it should be 790 +/- 50 RPM after step 8 and also after step 9.
