That's how I set my idle on my 3.2.

Hopefully, you don't have one of those "performance" chips installed, which can cause problems like what's happening.
I would use the factory process. the idea is to set the bypass so that the IAC is naturally in the mid position and has range in both directions to account for changing engine loads and still maintain the correct RPM.

For anyone with idle issues I would highly suggest doing a smoke test to ensure there are no intake leaks. Intake leaks are very common, with the age of the hosses and the fact that the 3.2 is using stacked intake manifold gaskets with a plastic spacer between them.
