Help! Idle problems - Microswitch - Loose wires!

["Stian Birkeland" <dmc_norway@xxxx>]

My DeLorean idles perfect around 775 when the engine is cold, but when the 
engine is warm it has a high idle of around 1000-1500, mostly around 1300. 
Quite annoying when stopping at a red light...this type of attention I can 
be without...vrrooom! :-)

Last year I had to change the waterpump. My local garage did this, but when 
I got my DeLorean back there were two(?) loose wires hanging on the top of 
the engine, close to the microswitch. Of course they had been disconnected 
when they worked the waterpump, and forgot where they went when hooking it 
all back up.

At that time I experienced a strange tacho, so somehow I personally managed 
to hook up the wires in one way or another so at least the tach is working. 
I am not sure however, if I got it correct and since this wiring isn't 
illustrated in any manual it would be nice if someone could send me a 
digital photo showing these wires and where they connect around/on the 
microswitch-area. To explain further, these are NOT the wires running on the 
top of the engine (the ones that connects to the whiteplugs). The wires I'm 
talking about are the wires which you can only reach when loosening the 
airfilter box.

I think maybe my idle problems *can* be solved simply by correct wiring in 
this particular area.

As I can remember, the one wire was the typical black plastic plug (as also 
found in the relay compartment), the other wires simply had a metal O-ring 
at the end of it. Maybe there was one more wire but I'm not sure.

Where should these wires connect?

I think maybe I've hooked up the black plug in a way that it interferes with 
the microswitch, and therefore mis-idles when engine is warm. Is there any 
truth to this? Or am I lost here?

So - can anyone provide me a good photo of the area around the microswitch 
and where the two (three?) wires should connect?

Of course any suggestions are very welcome!
