Idle very high and shift issues
My 92 f150 with 302 automatic idles very high (around 2000 rpm ) when in park or neutral. Rpm drops when shifted to r or d but, with a hard clunk. It still feels like it is pulling hard when stopping. Also I do not believe it is shifting into OD. Watching the tach for the shifts I clearly see 1-2 and 2-3 but, not 3-OD. What is the right rpm for it to shift to OD? I have checked the fluid, looks good. I have also turned off the OD and have no difference in rpm. Any ideas about the high idle rpm? Any help would be appreciated.

Do you have the E4OD transmission? (as opposed to the AOD transmission). I would suspect your Throttle Position Sensor is bad. If you replace the TPS, use only a genuine Ford part.

when changing the tps or throttle body postion sensor I usually change the Air Idle Control valvle the same time. together they might help but a vacume leak could be the issue to if you pop the hood run it for a minute when you turn it off jump out and listen to the engine some times you can find a hissing sound if its a vacuum leak or have someone else turn it off and on while you listen for it
