So I bought my 93 Talon TSI/AWD a couple of months ago. The guys I bought it from rebuilt the engine and did a HORRIBLE job. I'm constantly finding unhooked harnesses and they even sealed the throttle body with hot glue:ohdamn:!! I've been having some trouble with my car idling high and I came across some threads talking about an idle switch. I did some research and know for the most part what it does, but I can't figure out whether mine's supposed to have it or not. I assume it does, but when I look at my throttle body, I can't figure out where it's supposed to go! Here are some pics of my TB, can anybody help?

The blue wire connected to the top left hand corner is only a ground wire. It goes straight from the TB to the frame.

It goes in that threaded eyelet shown in the second picture. It's a green single female spade wire you're looking for. Should come out of the harness by the ISC.
 
damn, doesn't your throttle plate get stuck closed? that idle switch keeps the throttle plate slightly open so it doesn't get jammed into the bore.
 
Thanks! Do you know if I can get an idle switch at Auto Zone or some other store, or do I need to go scrounging around some junk yards? And yeah, the throttle plate does get kinda stuck sometimes and it really sucks haha.
