What is your current idle rpm in neutral?

Define "a little slow"...? Is it stalling out when in gear? Is it acting like it wants to stall out?

Idle speed is controlled by the PCM and is not adjustable without modifying the PCM program.

Ha. But for some frustration you can try manually advancing the timing and watch the computer reset it back for you.

Could be a sluggish IAC valve as well or possibly a vacuum leak that has caused the IAC to be closed more than it should be.

A bi-directional scan tool would need to be used to adjust the IAC position and monitor the response to idle speed. It should be quick to update.

As far as vacuum leaks, you can attempt to find them with an unlit propane torch. Trace the vacuum lines and intake gasket interfaces with the engine running. Listen for a change in engine sound.
