idle speed, etc..

over the last month (just after getting the vehicle inspected), the Check Engine (CE) light has been coming on and off intermittantly.
a local mechanic noticed two things:
1. that the flex pipe has a slight exhaust leak
2. that the engine is idling a little high
the CE light only comes on when in stop&go traffic.
back in '98 (while under warranty) a mechanic at the dealer 'boosted' the idle since I was having issues with the idle/shutter of the engine when the A/C is 'on' and the transmission was engaged.
I hesitate to have the idle reduced.... maybe be okay for winter, but am thinking I'll have issues again in summer.
the idle is one needle thickness above the 1k mark.... like it sits on the line.
any thoughts for a smoother idle in stop&go traffic and whether or not I should have the idle reduced? if so, what RPM should it be at and, most importantly, can I adjust it myself?
Thanks,
Ed R
