Thank You !!! It make sense that the resistor is for a reduced speed to the fan, as that would be a bit of current.

The Idle control doesn't actually turn. It's a plug, which must be pulled and reseated in one of the other positions. I never would have guessed it's purpose, and I don't think I ever played with it while the engine was running.
