Take a piece of masking take and make marks on it evenly spaced apart and wrap it around the intake hose. Make 1 mark on the mass air and start rotating the meter until you find the "sweet" spot. That's it, you're done.

If it's all stock I doubt very seriously it will have any affect.

Things to check,

Vacuum leaks, egr valve stuck open, dirty IAC motor, dirty throttle body. How does it run except for the idle?
