Resolved 420A throttle position sensor different part numbers same part?

[Misuta Yancha]

so I was searching online for a throttle position sensor and I found two different parts... and they both are advertised for a 97 eclipse but which one is the correct one?

TPS420 - this one looks like the one I have on my car now

1995-1998 Mitsubishi Eclipse - Standard Throttle Position Sensor - this one looks like it is supposed to be on the car because the other part only appears on cimotorsports.net

Do you have the 420a originally non-turbo, or the 420a turbo? All of this will effect which one it is. JNZtuning has both of them, so that might help you distinguish between the two

The TPS 420 number is an SKU (Stock Keeping Unit) not a Mitsubishi part number. It has no meaning to other companies.

The other site is refused by my browser.

I have a turbo

and I fixed the link

The TH188 number in the second link is a manufacturers number. Still not a Mitsubishi number but has meaning to other vendors and can be searched.

The different numbers may (or may not) refer to the same part.

but how do I know which one to get?

I’m confused by your Non Turbo with Turbo profile.
You should select the TPS to match the stock condition of your car.
As far as I can tell both of the parts are the same.

what is confusing? and my car is not stock, and I wasnt the one to modify it so I don't know everything that's in it.
