Where is the accelerator sensor located on 2000 Oldsmobile Intrigue?

The accelerator sensor on a 2000 Oldsmobile Intrigue, more accurately called the throttle position sensor (TPS), is located on the throttle body. The throttle body is usually found on the intake manifold, near the engine's air intake. It's a relatively small, rectangular component with a wiring harness connected to it. You'll likely need to look down towards the front of the engine, somewhere near the air filter housing.

Because of the location and potential need to view things from different angles, a repair manual specific to your 2000 Oldsmobile Intrigue would be helpful in precisely locating it. A picture from the manual would provide the clearest visual identification.

Accessing it might require removing some air intake components, so be prepared for that possibility. Always disconnect the battery's negative terminal before working on anything electrical in your vehicle.
