The power steering has a pressure switch that activates a valve
allowing additional air into the engine; the valve is located on
the  right side of the forward firewall.

I believe the A/C has an exactly similar arrangement.

The normal idle stab on the 1.9l engines is an electronic module that
advances ignition timing when idle falls below 750 (Federal) or 850
(California) rpm.
