Don't forget that the 1.9 has an electronic idle stabilizer mounted near
the coil -- the two plugs entering it must be unplugged and plugged into
each other (with ignition *off*) in order to adjust the idle speed
control.  The idle speed as set by the stabilizer varies slightly depending
on whether the stabilizer is black or green -- green is lower speed and was
used in some non-California vehicles.
