Adjusting the Idle Speed of a 4ALC ('87 Corolla FX)

So I got a little Corolla FX with 99k on the 4ALC engine and the idle has become very slow and even choppy at times. Sometimes it's so slow my car will just turn off if im not moving (happened maybe 3 times so far). I replaced the fuel filter maybe 4 months ago and I run carb cleaner through the carb every 1500 miles, but its still choppy and slow. But anyways I always hear people talking about the idle adustment screw or something like that. So my questions are: Does this screw exist? And if so, can anyone tell me how I can locate it or better yet post a picture or diagram of it. Any other helpful hints or suggestions for smoothening out my idle would be great. Thanks a bunch to whoever has the knowledge to help me out.
Kelly
