Do you mean you just got it out of storage?

If the ECU has been without power for a while, it will need time to check/adjust settings.

There're aren't any adjustments as such. The ECU takes care of it all, and has to relearn settings.
Drive the thing, and if it doesn't improve, look for splits in the big rubber hose between the airfilter and the throttle body, clean out the idle control valve with carb cleaner, and check out the throttle position switch by ear and with a meter.
