Throttle adjustment?

Can anyone tell me how to adjust the idle speed on a ford fiesta R reg 16v Zetec engine?
Jim Webley, April 2012
You can't adjust the idle speed as it's controlled by the engines ECU via an idle control valve, based on information from various sensors. The valves do suffer with getting gummed up with old petrol/carbon deposits, you can remove and clean the valve only with a spray "carb cleaner" and an old toothbrush, the valve is mounted on the inlet manifold and looks like a small cola can
