Where the throttle cable meets the throttle body, you shoud see a screw, simply tighten the screw to increase idle.

If your sure of that try tightening up the throttle cable. I have yet to see a vehicle without a idle adjust screw of some sort.

If have looked and looked, no idle screw. I need to slow down the idle so tighting the throtel cable won't work. Any other suggestions?

Try cleaning out your throttle body, is the throttle as loose as its gonna get? If so thats what the idle is supposed to be.

HOW HIGH IS IT IDLING? Check for rubber plugs on the throttle body the screw may be hidden. Also check for vacuum leaks
