idle switch?

Where is the idle switch on an '88 - 80 4 cylinder? I see the WOT switch on top of the throttle body but where is the other? Is it inside?

It's under the TB. With the car off, pull the throttle linkage a small amount. You should hear the idle switch "click". If not, it may be a throttle linkage adjustment problem.

Re: idle switch?

I did hear a click when I opened and closed the throttle. When I measured the contacts with the throttle closed, it did not read less than 1 ohm. I remove the switch and again measuring the contacts, the resistance jumps from 5 ohm to 50k ohms. I think the switch is bad. I will get another switch and let you know the results.
