Well it was the throttle position sensor causing the high idle. The
switch on the euro motor has a 2 prong flat plug, the car end has a 3
prong round. The wires for the engine side are brown and green, the
wires for the car side are brown, green, and blue. I cut off the
connector from the switch on the engine, cut the round connector off the
switch that was on the old 380 motor, spliced the 2 brown and green
wires together, spliced another wire to the remaining blue wire from the
car side and ran it to a ground. Now it idles like it should. Drives
just fine as well. Not sure if this is how its supposed to be on the US
car or its just rigged, but it seems to work.
