The throttle body on a 1996 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera is located on the intake manifold,
at the top of the engine, towards the front. It's where the air intake system connects to the engine. You'll likely see a large, roughly cylindrical housing with a butterfly valve inside. It's usually connected to various hoses and wiring harnesses.
Because there are different engine options for the '96 Cutlass Ciera (likely a 3.1L V6 or a 3.8L V6), the exact visual details might vary slightly, but the general location remains consistent.
