If you're experiencing problems with your Ford Focus's idle speed, start by cleaning the throttle body assembly thoroughly using a rag and carburetor cleaner. This step often resolves idle issues caused by dirt, debris, or rust obstructing the body. If cleaning doesn't work, proceed to locate the idle adjustment screw, which is on the throttle body assembly. By adjusting this screw up or down, you can change your idle RPMs. Aim for an idle speed just below 1,000 RPM or within a range that suits your preference.
