Yup my efi idles between 850 and 950 depending on temperature/load.
I was wondering what you were going to do having located the valve because as far as I know they aren't manually adustable

i went for a set up but they said the fuel ect was ok....
i never realised you cant adjust it............i have kent cam, lifters, adjustable pully....engine has only done 825 miles from being rebuilt.....
can i get the timing set at a garage or does it have to go on the rolling road?

The only thing you can adjust on a EFI setup is the idle CO and base fuel pressure so no you can't adjust your ICV... And as said your idle RPM is fine, if it's nearly stalling it must be something else.
