Hi all, My car's idle is still high. I adjusted the throttle valve switch (a few times, in case I was wrong the first try) per the bentley manual to no avail. Also, the accelerator cable is not stuck and the throttle valve is closed. I then popped open the switch to make sure the contacts were clean (this had obviously been done before). Is there any way I can test the switch itself to make sure it is working? It is a 5-connection switch and, although my car is a 1969, and it is likely to be a 1972 engine. I am curious, though. in the literature section of vwtype3.org from the Clymer manual, it uses an ohmeter to (re) adjust the throttle valve switch. It says to 'Connect an ohmmeter (set to R x 10) across contacts on switch plug'. Does that mean I would connect all 5 contacts to the Ohmeter? I'm trying to nail down this problem so that I can drive the car. This problem appeared out of nowhere and has been taking a while to fix. But I guess I'm learning all about the FI parts in my engine.
