Where is your idel air located on a 96 ford contour?
The idle air control (IAC) valve on a 1996 Ford Contour is located on the throttle body. It's a small, usually cylindrical, electrically controlled valve mounted on the side or top of the throttle body. You'll likely need to look closely at the throttle body; it's often near a vacuum line or other smaller components. A repair manual or online images specifically for a 1996 Ford Contour throttle body will help you pinpoint it visually.
