Idle switch is part of the throttle position sensor. If memory serves you
want continuity on the first two terminals until the throttle opens more
than 2.5 degrees and open circuit after that. Use a .055" feeler gauge at
the throttle stop screw to check it. Do *NOT* adjust the throttle stop
screw. These are adjusted at the factory and anchored with a little dot of
white paint. If the idle switch needs adjustment loosen the two screws
holding the TPS and rotate it slightly.

Green connectors may be pushed up above the ecm under the dash but on my 92
loyale they were in the engine compartment where the wiring harness comes
through the firewall near the wiper motor. Remember to disconnect them
when you're done setting the timing. Connecting them enables the stored
trouble code read out, (a flashing LED on the ecm itself), but *disables*
the spark advance. Leaving them connected will make your car run kind of
sluggish.

Later,
