How many conductors in 3.2 throttle pos sensor

[r-mm]

I removed the lower throttle position sensor on my 87 and think I heard some part of the plug go flying. The female plug (in my hand) has two conductors. The male has three. Did I wumpus one or is this how It left the factory?

Ouch, yeah you lost the connector, easy fix, get a injector plug rebuild kit and replace.

This looks perfectly fine. Each micro-switch has its own connector and is a 2-terminal device. That's why there isn't anything one of the slots.

Hold on which is it? Can someone kindly pull their lower tps and look inside the female plug for me?

If you don't believe measure inside the 35-pin connector what the DME sees when you close a switch. It's pretty simple. Use an Ohm meter. One lead to a GND pin (pin5, 6, 16, 17) and the other lead to the respective switch. Idle is on pin 2 and WOT is on pin 3. Once a switch is closed you should a couple of Ohm.

Oops, my bad, I stand corrected, Just went to my car, there are only 2 female terminals in that 3 slot plug.
