Post Need picture of throttle position sensor.

My 944 is an '87 and I need to find the throttle position sensor, but I can't find a picture of one. Can someone help me out please?

Thanks.

It's been a few years since I sold my '88, but if I recall correctly, it's on the bottom of the throttle body. It's a black plastic housing mounted on the bottom end of the trottle plate shaft (same shaft as the throttle cam, opposite end). Has a three-wire plug going to it. It's lesss a 'sensor' and more just a pair of switches, one each for idle & full-throttle.

Jim, snow in late March...????

By Throttle Position Sensor do you mean, "Throttle Position Switch" ? If so here is a pic fresh from <a href="http://www.smartcart.com/Paragon/index.cgi" target="_blank">Paragon's</a> site...
