throttle switch? It controls the operation of the idle valve. It is located on the bottom of the throttle body. It may be out of adjustment.

If it does the same thing with multiple idle valves, its either the switch or the wiring

Ok, now im confused.... What year is the car?
The sensor in the thermostat should be the temp sensor, not in the exhuast manifold.... |

If your idle is changing when you unplug those things, that would mean that the ICV is working usually. What indicators do you have that it is not working?
