Pete... interesting. Am familiar with two throttle switches. Switch towards front of the car. And there's one on the passenger side of throttle body. I recall checking the front one. It clicked when the throttle is moved off it's base position. Switch on the side I do not ever recall checking.

No idea how to genuinely check either of those switches. School me on this and it'll get done.

In my front left wheel well there is the water reservoir tank. There's also 10 gallons of fuel "missing" per tank---"missing" by comparison to the engine getting 18 mpg city. If that amount was leaking, it would/should be very noticeable. No leaks. So this "missing" fuel must be running through the engine.
