       If your GTV-6 is idling at 15,000 RPM, you best sell it to an F1 team. 
 
       I have never owned a GTV-6, but the Milano and spiders adjust the idle 
by adjusting the amount of air bypassing the throttle.  You should find a 
hose with a double nut on one end.  Loosen the lock nut, turn the other to set 
the idle and tighten the lock nut.
       You might try the idle at 800 to 1000 hot - you might even look in a 
book to see what it should be (perish the thought)!  Then adjust as required if 
cold idle does not suit you or if the car dies when you lift off the throttle 
at a stop light.
