Under the brace that the throttle cable/wheel are attached to. Or just to the front of the car attached to it.

i was trying to follow the wire...but it disapeared under the intake...so the plug is by the pully (general area?)

The engine harness comes from the right side of the fire wall, loops around the back of the engine, then splits into two parts, one for the right side of the engine (injectors, hall sender and Temp II) and one for the left side of the engine (MAF, CPS, ISV, TPS, injectors, Temp I and Flappy actuator). Bothe the right and left side looms are held into place by clamps on the right and left side bolts of the throttle wheel plate. The CPS connector can be found under the rear of the intake on the left side, after the clamp. On the left side of and under the MAF.

^^^^ nope just remove the air cleaner,
it will be clear as mud

Hi Aryan, love the photos of your top end rebuild! I think I see where it is now....i intend to do the same thing as you, but not until this winter...but I am afraid that i need to replace the cps sensor sooner..

Thanks Merlin, i have done that, but the wire disappeared under the intake... i will dig deeper

CPS connector is labelled 'F' in this pic of the LH harness:



Here's a pic of Dave Chamberlain's, showing the two engine grounds of the LH harness. You can see the CPS connector captured in the middle of the pic by its mount on the throttle wheel mounting bracket.

The joys of 928 ownership!

Thanks Rob, how do you get your hands on that connector, without removing the intake?

airman681

does anyone have the procedure for removing the CPS, what needs to be removed to get to the connector?

Have the intake off. Remove the bracket for the throttle wheel - service the grounds while there too. Here's what I did to get the CPS out. I found it easy. Took ten minutes. You MUST have everything off, otherwise it will be a fight to remove.

Airman, what year is your 928?

Airman, I followed Dwayne's Intake Refresh to do a full intake job and decided to remove the CPS because of the terminal and wires deterioration showed on this thread.
Once you reach it, apply some WD40 or other lubricants and remove it carefully. If it does not work, you can see what I did or others are recommending about cutting the plastic part to expose more of the bolt itself and remove using a vice grip or similar

So, since I am replacing the male hall sensor connector I believe looking at the male connector in the same orientation (single up and double down) the wiring is the opposite. Given that as you look at the male connector the order of the wires is left to right is Red, Green, Black.
