Idle is factory set and cannot be adjusted, your best bet is checking for cracked hose pipework for air intake at idle,(not at problem under exceleration and driving) Any slight upset to the air /fuel ratio will be most prevelent at idle speeds.Check hoses where the meet metal flanges on manifold intakes and any sharp bends in ppipes.Good luck

    Try Redex injector in your next tank of fuel usually stops bad idling at least you eliminate a fuel problem? (this solved my idling)
    Or possibly a faulty mass air flow sensor? (which was the problem on my partners micra)
    I have the previous model of Toyota corolla 1.4 vvti, hope this simple solutions helps if your still having problems?

Check your idle speed control valve situated at the bottom of the throttle body. Sometimes the valve sticks and will make the engine rev high or low at idle and the ECU can't adjust it properly.

Convert camshaft sensor of 4zz has 3 pins to engine of 1zz has 2 pin

wild engine swaps topic, SURE SOME SECRET TOYOTA model.
pin count are not the TOP clue (yes doing it wrong)
no car told or years, (both)

sensors come like this
HALL and mag coil. the can NOT be mixed, !
Hall is 5vdc sensor , has a power pin , signal and ground(3 pins)
a 4 pin is ground shield pin to stop noise (yes 1 or 2 grounds HALL)
a MAG coil is not true electronic like HALL is, it is just coil inside
and MAg COIL HAS 2pins OR 3 PIN 2 FOR COIL AND 1 FOR GROUND IF PRESENT, this signals are super tiny on mAG
for sure crarked and idle RPM. the PCM that needs HALL here is going to fail HARD (CMP hard nut errors)


THAT ENGINE SWAP WILL NEVER MAKE THE PCM HAPPY
EVER.
1zz-XYZ, NO XYZ TOLD (FE)_ 1.8L ? (1998:)?
4ZZ-XYZ NO XYZ TOLD (fe) 1.4l (2002 TO 2007)_
GOT VVT, yes , that too fails. PCM wrong.
tell the 2 cars, and get better answers
years and country .
not told.

I just changed the engine in my Corolla and it's idling rough and sounds bad.

sounds like you have not connected the wiring correctly, don't think there are any free manuals, you could ask in the toyota owners club.

Low idle rpm 700-800 when engine is cold -corolla 1998

I'd be thinking real serious about changing the IAT sensor. Usually located on air cleaner housing, it senses the incoming air temperature & advises Computer to adjust fuel as necessary.You can try removing it & cleaning it with tuner cleaner from electronics store, but replacement is usually required. A good mechanic & scan tool can test it before replacing to see if it is functioning properly.
