HELP: What does EEC Clutch Switch do???
I've just replaced my manual tranny with a C6. On the straight shift clutch pedal, there were two switches on my '87 F250. One is the neutral lockout that keeps you from starting the engine without the clutch depressed. The other, according to my wiring diagram, is an "EEC Clutch Switch." I want to remove it, but will doing so have any effect on running? I can't tell any when driving with it either clutch pedal up or clutch pedal down, but I wanted advice from you with more experience. When I remove it, should I leave it with circuit "open" or "closed?"
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

Actually, the PCM responds by raising the idle (IAC valve) so the engine doesn't stall.
When the IAC opens, the PCM also slightly lengthens the injector pulsewidths to give it a bit more fuel.
