Where are the idle & WOT switches in 3.2 Carrera?
 
Trying to determine if the little button in the microswitch is getting stuck resulting in my intermitten fuel pickup problem. Found a couple threads (See thread URL below) that mention unsticking the little button inside the microswitch is one of a few possible solutions. Trying to troubleshoot simple stuff first...

I think I need to do this test, but I'm not that great at electronics.

I've read the instructions on 911 chips: (Using a multimeter or continuity tester, disconnect the plug and test that the upper two pins (of three) of the switch make contact when your throttle is at least 1/4 of full open. If adjustment is necessary, you can use a blunt screw driver and hammer to tap on one side of the metal mounting tab or the other to rotate the switch to the appropriate angle.)
  • Where do I placing a probe, on the female end of the connector or the male end?
  • How do I tell if the switch makes contact when my throttle is at least 1/4 of full open?
  • Do I open the black housing, look into my throttle body?
  • Will I hear something?
  • If I have to adjust, do I loosen a screw before pounding?
It just seems like the micro-switch is encapsulated in the black plastic housing and I'm not sure which what to pound if an adjustment is needed.
Sorry for the newbie questions, but I have no idea when it comes to stuff like this.

Thank you for your knowledge in this area.
