No dumb questions here. We're all learning.
Use a paper clip and bend it so that you can stick it into the 2 green holes in the picture (this is the socket on the left side of the engine compartment behind the fuse cover, which you must remove). The paper clip acts as your jumper (you could also use a wire). When you stick the paper clip into the two green holes, the DME bypasses the ICV and no longer sends signals to it to modulate. As a result, the idle will be rock steady. While in this "jumpered" mode, set the idle with the screw shown in the image. Use a 1/4" socket and I think it's a 6mm or 7mm socket. Use the tachometer do view the engine speed. Given that the notches on the tach at this location are 250 rpm increments, you're getting it close. I suppose if you had an oscilloscope you could hook it up to read rpm that way and get more accurate. I don't have an o-scope.
