Where is the throttle sensor on a 88 Plymouth Reliant?

The throttle position sensor (TPS) on a 1988 Plymouth Reliant is located on the throttle body. The throttle body itself is usually situated on the intake manifold, near the engine's air intake. It's a relatively small sensor, typically attached to the side of the throttle body with screws.

To find it precisely:

1. Locate the throttle body: This is the large housing with the throttle plate inside, connected to the accelerator cable. It's usually near the front of the engine.

2. Look for a small sensor: The TPS is a small electronic component, often rectangular or slightly cylindrical, usually with a wire harness plugged into it.

3. Follow the accelerator cable: The TPS is positioned so it can detect the throttle plate's position via its linkage, so it will likely be near the cable's connection.

Important Note: Due to variations between engine types (2.2L, etc.) and potentially different manufacturers' parts, the exact location *might* vary slightly. Using a repair manual specific to your Reliant's engine is highly recommended for precise location and removal/installation instructions. A visual diagram in that manual will be extremely helpful.
