Throttle Position Sensor Connector for GM Applications

Restore a secure electrical connection at the throttle position sensor with this Motormite throttle position sensor connector, part number 85186. It is built to match the original connector’s appearance and function on specified applications, with a black housing and 3-wire layout for direct replacement service.

Key Features

  • Motormite 85186 throttle position sensor connector
  • 3-wire design with 18-gauge wiring and pin terminals
  • 12-inch wiring harness length for service routing
  • Male terminal configuration with plastic terminal material
  • OE-style replacement for specified Buick, Chevrolet, GMC, Oldsmobile, Pontiac, and Cadillac applications

Detailed Description

This throttle position sensor connector is engineered for vehicles that use a 3-wire TPS switch connection, including many Buick LeSabre, Chevrolet Camaro, GMC S15 Jimmy, and Pontiac Firebird applications. Motormite 85186 is made from quality materials to deliver reliable electrical contact and durable everyday performance in the engine bay. It cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 5617 for the same application.

Compatible fitment includes many 1982-1997 GM vehicles such as Buick Century, Buick Regal, Chevrolet S10, Chevrolet Blazer, GMC Sonoma, Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera, Pontiac Bonneville, and Cadillac DeVille. Use this connector when the original plug is damaged, heat-affected, brittle, or no longer locks securely to the throttle position sensor.

What It Helps Fix

  • Broken or cracked throttle position sensor connector housings
  • Intermittent TPS signal caused by loose or corroded terminals
  • Hard starting, rough idle, or throttle response issues tied to poor sensor connection
  • Wiring damage near the throttle body or intake area
  • Connector wear on older GM fuel and engine management systems

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector style, wire count, and terminal layout before installation. Match the existing harness routing and inspect nearby wiring for heat damage or corrosion before splicing in the replacement connector. Confirm a solid terminal fit at the throttle position sensor after installation, and clear any stored diagnostic trouble codes if needed.

Quality Assurance

Motormite manufactures this connector to match original hardware form and function on listed applications, using quality materials for dependable service life. Part number 85186 is built for direct replacement use on the specified GM fitments.

This part fits 324 vehicles
Always verify fitment with your vehicle's VIN if unsure. Submodel & trim restrictions may apply.
