Someone, please correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the throttle
closed switch serves two purposes:
   1. it puts the Digital Idle Stabilizer in circuit
   2. it tells the ECU to cut gas if idle is over 1500rpm.

When you say "can't get them to make contact at all" do you mean they
physically don't touch the roller cam?  Or that they do move, but
don't make electrical contact.   The former is an easy fix, just
loosen the adjuster screw, move them back into position, and
readjust.  The latter --- well, I'd be very suspicious if both
switches suddenly went bad at the same time (caveat -- my 85 is an
automatic, and has two separate switches, so I may not understand
your problem).

The fact that it suddenly started idling at 2100 rpm sounds to me
more like an air leak.  I'd do this:
  1. make sure the switches didn't somehow get out of adjustment
  2. bypass the DIS by plugging the two ends together
  3. check every single vacuum hose for leaks.
  4. pay particular attention to the Auxiliary Air valve, which is
     nearly impossible to get to without removing the air box, afm,
     and throttle body.
