NEED HELP Identifying This Switch & Plug: ABA Swapped Into 93 Cabby

[8v o'Fury]

Hi to all. I recently got my hands on a 93 Cabby with full crossflow swap. The car ran and drove fine before I took it apart for repairs. Im in the process of reassembly just buttoning the last few things up before the first start.

Problem: I have some kind of switch that mounts near the throttle body that is clearly not an OEM component. It has a button switch at the end that makes contact with the throttle body when the gas pedal is RELEASED. It has a wire coming out and goes somewhere I havent figured out. As I said its clearly not OEM and looks like some kind of home made junk. Just trying to figure out if its important or can be replaced with something better engineered.

Plug on the other end (was mounted to a valve cover bolt to ground it I guess)

Looks like some kind of idle control solenoid to eliminate the ICV.

Wel this is OBD 1 so im not sure there was an electric idle control valve

Yes you should have had an ICV I believe. That looks like something someone rigged up to operate the throttle plate and delete it. Unless it's a factory thing that I haven't seen before.

So I guess I'm going junkyarding for an OBD 1 car to see what it looks like and if I can find one in good condition. Any suggestions on repairing/replacing?

Reason for this whole post is because the wires have fatigued and broken at the switch and I can't get inside it to repair them without damaging it anyway.
