Well, you implied that the car sat for 2 years so I would want to make sure the fuel is good. I experienced old fuel in my Corvette a few years ago and it wouldn't idle until I replaced the old fuel.
It depends on how much is in the tank....if it's low then you could add some fresh 93 octane. If it's 1/2 tank or more then you might need to drain some.

The micro-switch is a fuel shut off. If it is working correctly you can test it buy holding the idle at 2,500 rpms and push the micro-switch button in and it should lower the idle.
