help raising rmp at idle

Problem: It's about 95+ outside for the last 2 week. With the AC on, the car vibrate when at a stand still. Today I while at a red-light. I apply slightly on the gas raising the rpm about 200. The car becomes very stable and smooth. So....

I was wondering how I go about raising the rpm at idle. Come from a piston "4 banger", all I had to do was get a flat head screw driver and start to play around with that little "thing" (don't know what it call) and just raise the rpm or lower it.

Question: Where is that little screw that allows you to adjust the rpm on the rotor engine?
Please I'm new and don't flame. What's old to you is brand new to me. Yes I did a search and nothing about this subject show.
Thanks ahead of time.

there is not a screw, and you cannot change the idle right now... it is in the hands of the ecu. and the throttle is also controlled by the ecu... no cable..

here is a start read from top to bottom.. the first thread has lots of good info..

Sounds like you have a cracked passenger side motor mount with the vibration you described. If you're in warranty the dealer will fix it for free under service bulletin 01-021/06.
