1983 LTD crown vic idle too high
hi
bought today this 83 crown victoria and the idling appears to be high.
is there any adjustment to it? such as an idle control valve? I do not hear any vacuum leaks.
is there any DIY troubleshooting guide?
I have experience with fuel injection but not with this model
Thanks!

A picture without the air cleaner on the intake would be more useful to easily identify what you have.
Hanky is right, the throttle control piece appears to be for a carb so the idle should be adjustable.
Here's a picture of a CFI unit...

My engine is 5.0 fuel injected. And the cause for the too high idle was the throttle wasn't closing properly. Either dirty or the spring got too weak. Push it back with the hand and it idles correctly. So not a big problem!
