Where is the idle air control valve located on a 2000 ford contour?

The idle air control valve on a 2000 Ford Contour is located on the throttle body. The throttle body is mounted on the intake manifold and is responsible for controlling the amount of air that flows into the engine. The idle air control valve is a small, round device that is mounted on the side of the throttle body. It has a plunger that moves in and out to adjust the amount of air that bypasses the throttle plate. When the engine is idling, the idle air control valve is open to allow a small amount of air to bypass the throttle plate. This air is needed to keep the engine running smoothly. When the accelerator is pressed, the throttle plate opens and the idle air control valve closes to prevent too much air from bypassing the throttle plate. This helps to ensure that the engine runs at the proper idle speed.
