This "harness" is  six-inch length of cable with a little box in the middle
and a connector on each end.  It plugs between the AFM and the cable that
would ordinarily go straight to the AFM.

It may need a throttle switch, but that's not the same as the
above-mentioned AFM fix.
The throttle switch indicates both closed-throttle and wide-open
throttle.  Early engines used two switches for this, clearly visible around
the throttle body.  Later ones (starting sometime in '85 I think) have an
unobtrusive unit with a single internal switch, mounted underneath the
throttle body.  Do you have a Bentley?
