This doesn't change anything about your procedure, but on the 2.1l
the closed-throttle switch does affect idle via the much more
intelligent idle speed controller vs the 1.9l.  On my '89 if the idle
switch is working the warm engine idles down to ?1200? - I forget
exactly - for a couple seconds, then drops to 900+ and stays
there.  If the switch isn't working, it has a slightly unsteady idle
a bit above 1,000 rpm.  I've never tested a different idle speed
controller, but even if this is not correct behavior of my idle
controller it still shows that the controller is cognizant of the
throttle switch.
