Doing a quick check-up I found these 2 cables loose in the engine bay. She drives ok and I haven’t really noticed any new problems (out of the ordinary ones).
That could also be for the A/C idle up air valve, which should be bolted to the strut brace. Can you clean up the wires and tell us what colors they are?
that's the idle microswitch, I have mine disconnected too, sometimes solves weird idle issues. I believe when the switch is activated, "no throttle input" the car goes into idle mixture mode. There's one for full throttle as well, I believe it deactivates the AC?

Oh, interesting. I am still trying to understand where to plug it in. Can’t see a spot for it. Do you maybe have any pictures / guide?

Thanks!
Look where the accelerator cable attaches to the throttle body on the drivers side. Under the intake plenum.
I'll try to fin a pic. There's two microswitchs.
From the '82 US wiring diagram, the idle switch has a black wire, and white/black striped wire. The full throttle switch has a black wire, and wire white. As mentioned, they are both on the side of the throttle body, not far apart.
