Engine idle speeds are all computer controlled these days. Not like the old days when we had a screw to move in / out to adjust ourselves.
There are a few things that can be done to "influence" idle speeds - see "Related Questions" below for more
where is the speed control senor located on a 2002 ford taurus
The speedometer is driven by the vehicle speed sensor. See "Related Questions" below for more about where to find it, and how to replace one.
There can be as many as 6 speed sensors. The transmission has two speed sensors, one called a VSS and one called an OSS. If the vehicle has anti-lock brakes, each wheel hub will have it's own speed sensor.
In the 1996-1999 Generation 3 Ford Taurus/Mercury Sable, there are several modules that are utilized in transmission control. The PCM, or "Powertrain Control Module" is responsible for all engine and transmission functions. This is the computer that manages all data to and from the engine and transmission. The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS, Range Module, NSS, Neutral Safety Switch, among other names), determines which gear the user has selected and tells the PCM what to do as a result. The VSS, or "Vehicle Speed Sensor" displays the speed on the speedometer but is also responsible for transmission performance. And on SHO model Tauruses, the ABS Wheel Sensors are instead used to display speedometer information, as well as control the transmissions shifting habits.
The idle speed is controlled by the computer ( PCM , Powertrain Control Module )
Try replacing blower control switch or module.
(This answer Covers the "Generation 3" 1996-1999 Series Ford Motor Company Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable.)The governor is electronically controlled. There are 2 governors on a Generation 3 Taurus/Sable. 1, Rev Governor. This prevents the engine from revving over 4,000 RPM. Anything higher than this at park or neutral can cause extensive damage to the transmission pump. 2, Speed Governor. This is in place because the vehicle can lose control quite easily at higher speeds without suspension modifications, appropriate tires, and driver skill.To remove or "Bump up" the governor limits the vehicle must be tuned aftermarket by a SCT tuning device and a trained professional tuner.

A 3-speed ceiling fan switch typically has four wires: one for power, one for the fan motor, and two for the different speed settings. The wiring diagram will show how these wires should be connected to the switch to control the fan's speed. It is important to follow the diagram carefully to ensure proper functioning of the fan.
On the transmission.
