where is backup switch located on a 63 thunderbird
possible cause of high idle could be that your idle contol switch / valve has carbon build up on it. remove and clean with carburetor cleaner. let it dry completely before re-installing it. idle should come down if not it has probably gone bad and need to be replaced.
When the AC is on most vehicles increase the idle speed. That can often mask the problems that cause rough idle. The primary suspects are: EGR valve, tune-up, sticky or plugged injectors and valves.
FI vehicles generally have a IDLE SPEED MOTOR or IDLE SPEED VALVE etc. ( different names) which controls idle speed. These are subject to carbon build up on the shaft and can stick open causing this problem. Find yours ( ask FORD parts dealer to print out the location)and remove it and soak it in some SEA FOAM marine additive. If that does not work, you will need to replace it. If expensive, consider a salvage yard part to save money.
idle speed controll or tps throttle sensor
The IAC (idle air control) at the throttle body is usually the problem.
You don't. The idle speed is determined by the on board computer and the idle speed control (ISC).
