Hi tlmaker, Welcome to 2carpros and TY or the donation

Your idle speed is automatically adjusted by the computer and needs a special monitor device to view its parameters. Try this clean out the idle air control valve and see what happens.

Or you can try adjusting the rpm on the throttle stop screw
