Question 1994 3.6 turbo idle speed

I just bought a 1994 3.6 turbo and had a 60,000 mile service done but the idle speed is at 1200 rpm, with a/c on it's 980 rpm
I think it should be 950-980 RPM but it's real consistant so i think no cable problems. Does anyone know what to do except take the car back to 60,000 mile service guy who lives 12 hours away?
Thanks Stacy

You're just trying to brag that you got a 94 Turbo
How do you like it so far?

My 92 Turbo idles at about 900 when warm and about 1200 when cold but only for about 20-30 seconds before it settles down to normal idle.

The idle speed adjustment screw is at the front of the throttle body which sits under the intercooler. I use a 12-14" flathead screwdrivers to reach it. Start with small adjustments like 1/4 turns. If that makes no change to the idle speed then you know you have to start down the diagnostics road. There are a lot of good CIS guys on this board. I'm not one of them :-)
