Hello again.

Had a mad idle problem, where it'd go from 500-1500 and sometimes stall, came right after I pressure washed the engine, so today after research I decided to clean my throttle body, which helped out a lot, now it stays about 1,1-1,2k and moves between there a bit still, but at least I can drive this thing now.

But, the problem is rather simple, I saw that when I manually pressed the idle control valve microswitch, it ran rather smoothly, so my question of the day is how should I adjust it so it'd run perfectly.

Oh, and I have '94 manual without MAF, when I reset all the fault codes, only one which came back was "8" from pin 4.

I'd suspect something is still wet after you pressure washed the engine.
 
Well it was about a month ago, so idk. Anyways the problem lies rather in the linkage adjustment, since when I manually click the microswitch it idles fine, the linkage isn't able to switch to idle on itself at the moment though.
