Welcome. I don't think we can adjust the idle. The only way I can think of is to have the PCM reprogrammed, maybe by the dealer (?) or chipped. If you have a problem with the Mystique idling too low and stalling out, it could be a vacuum leak. You may want to check if you can hear a hissing sound under the hood. In addition, you may want to consider cleaning the MAF, IAC valve, or changing the air filter.
