I believe this is controlled through the ECM and cannot be manually adjusted.

On the 1994 Tercel the idle can be adjusted with a flat top screwdriver. I believe the 1991-1994 are the same. See attached image.

That is the main idle set screw, the other ones that have paint marks are not to be messed with at all. I know the preset turn count is light bottom out clockwise, the 1 and 1/4 counter clockwise the screw has an o ring on it so be careful it's an odd size/ thickness. Without a tach it's hard to find true rpm but that's hot or cold and ac working 850-975 rpm manual.
