<e30>Thermo-Time Switch Woes



Hello all.  I've had a great success on the past about getting help with
problems, hopefully the same will be with this one too.
2 months ago i was having a problem.  Car would start fine, but if i hit
the gas on a cold engine (I.E. in the blue), would want to stall.  Afew
mintues later it would be fine.  My mechanic replaced the Thermo Time
Switch, and all was great until yesterday.  Started up the car, and back to
the old ways.  I called up my mechanic and said, "what gives".  he believes
that it's probably a loose wire.  So, now if someone could tell me where it
is, and the wires i should check.  I'm yet to check my fuses (occasionally
one of the OBC fuese does go).  I know what the switch it's self looks like
(almost like a spark plug, but blunt end, and a connectior at the other
end.  That's about it.  been meaning to get a benteley manual,but the car
keeps eating up that money.  Any help would be greatly appreciated, because
this problem tends to get REALLY annoying.

Thanks
