There was a 4 pin thermo switch that was tied in somehow with the temp 2 sensor that would cause all sorts of weirdness's when it failed. I think we got ~360K out of that car. For either engine set up the warm engine should be able to idle with the valve unplugged and as an additional test close off/block one of the hoses so that the idle air is supplied by the throttle opening and bypass adjustment. Set to about 800 rpm. The correct way to set up the idle is follow the Bentley using a duty cycle or current meter on the valve to set it. You want it work just a little.
