The single-wire connector Bentley refers to is on the firewall, upper left
side. The wires are white. As to whether disconnecting the connector to the
valve itself is as effective as disconnecting the single-wire connector, I
can't say. I've avoided making idle adjustments on my engine as you really
should have an exhaust gas analyzer to do this properly. Once the idle speed
and CO are set correctly you should almost never have to mess with them.
It's not like the old days with carburators.
