 I was following your post with interest. My 93 ATX is very picky about
which TPS I install. They all look the same but have a range of part
numbers. The only way I finally got my check engine light to stay off and
the car to run properly was to match the part number on the old sensor. The
auto parts places usually will show multiple parts for this application so
see if they will order all of them for you to look at.
