idle up

I was wondering if there is a way to get my 95 psd to idle faster? It idles at 500 - 550 rpm's. I would rather it idle around 600 - 650 rpm's. can this be done? Or is this normal? I have 155,000 miles on it. maybe the throttle position sensor can be adjusted? What do you guys think?
thanks for all the help

either have to build your own AIC unit or buy one from ford.

500 is low most are 600. your tach might be off too. I wouldn't sweat it.

Thanks For The Reply Diesel Rod. I Have This Slight Romp Romp Romp When I Start The Engine, If It Cold Out Side It Will Romp Hard Enough To Kill The Engine Several Time. I Have Started The Engine With My Foot On The Throttle And Raise The Rpm's To Appr. 600-650 And The Romp Is Gone. I Have Held The Throttle There As Long As Two Minutes And When I Idle Back Down The Romp Is Back For About 15-20 Seconds And The Idle Is Around 500-550 Again. I Have Tried Alot Of Different Things Trying To Figure This Out With No Luck!!! I Am Thinking Of Checking The Ipr, Could This Help? I'm In South Dakota And Run A Few Pete's Also. Sounds Real Nice.
Thanks Tony

I Have Changed The Transmission Range Sensor, Mine Came From Another 95 Psd That Didn't Have This Problem And I Still Have My Romp. I Haven't Adjusted It Yet Though. I Don't Know How Much Difference It Would Make. It Starts In Neutral And The Reverse Lights Work So I Thought It Must Be Set Real Close. I Appreciate Any And All Ideas. I Changed All My Glow Plugs And All My Short Harnesses, But Not The Valve Cover Harness Itself Though. Then I Started The Engine 15 Times With The Covers Off And No Romp, Romp,romp I Was Very Happy. I Put The Covers On And Romp, Romp, Romp. Not Happy. What Can I Do?
The Ipr Is Injector Pressure Regulator, It Is Located In The Fuel Filter Housing. Sombody Else On Here Can Tell You More Or Search For It On Here, It Doesn't Seem To Be To Bad. Usually Needs New O-rings I Think.
