Throttle Position Sensor Part Number

[fetcher]

I have a 1996 16v US G16b. I am wondering if W0133-1731246-MIK
would be the correct part number for a Mikuni made TPS

[fixkick]

if the car has the stock engine with the T serial code G16Tnnnnnn , nnnn is serial and T =1996 year
and if nobody changed throttle body with say 1995 then we know what part is is.

what is this W number, its not suzuki? where are your sources,?
the best sources is rockauto, look there yet,
the shrank the TPS in 1996 .
all usa sidekicks and trackers, what car do you have, you never said. just US.

31mm base is 1996
and B10 suffix, for 1996 up.

see it here under hard parts buy, and rockauto now has even more choices, 10 years later.

I'm not so sure about rock auto, right now they show TH147 for the 1996 when your pages show TH392.
Now they also show AIRTEX/WELLS 5S5074 for a 1996 but when you click on the info button it shows fitment to be for 1994-1995 Geo
Having similar problem with Mikuni part numbers sometimes showing fitment for 1996 Geo, Suzuki, sometimes same part number is for Mitsubishi
only. Also looking into BECK/ARNLEY 158-1251 but strange the claim is it fits 1996-1998 Sidekick but not Tracker.

This is what I have so far, I would not yet consider this list to be definitive:



Wide one:
13420-58B00 Suzuki
96068619 GM
W0133-1645589-MIK Mikuni
TH437 Standard
TPS494 Wells
5S5074 Airtex

narrow one:
13420-58B10 Suzuki
91174211 GM
W0133-1816235-MIK Mikuni
TH392 Standard
5S5359 Airtex

Mine is a 1996 G16B Tracker with California emissions. It looks to have the wide type like
the 1995's have. I am going to order a W0133-1645589-MIK Mikuni. If there was a way to
cross reference, you might even find that throttle position sensors for Japanese small engines
(motorcycle, snowmobile,...) may interchange.

my page clearly shows the mm base size
this tells you if its 96 or pre 96. in seconds
why not use that, after all i cant see your TB and know that, and use my ruler..

its just 2 sensors used, on all G16b. 89 to 1998,
only 2, (not talking X90s or on VITARAs, just your car)
try to know that cars this old get engine swaps and omg ,TB swaps.

try to now what your store sells you, can be wrong, your car is VIN CODE 6, engine.
most stores are clueless on VIN,, brain dead clueless.
but even if they did do the VIN right what if the owner put in a 95 TB in your engine. 96. then the parts sold will BE WRONG, (50% of the time)

the correct suz, number is
13420-58B10

buy one,
see that B10 that is the new 1996 basic size changed.
there are NO MIKUNI books here.
zero.

the narrow base is 1996+
and is 31mm, got a ruler, off the TPS measure that boss rim (circle) see its 31mm, the 95 is far bigger.
they made it smaller for kicks, really dumb idea doing this, no need for it but that is what engineers do ,change stiff for no reasons. (my guess is to use newer stock in the factory and delete old)
across many cars. made.

I can not speak for any of those aftermarket makers
my page is 10 years old now. 2007 to now.(frozen in time for ever)
so some may have changed catalogs and numbers by now
that is why its best to go to the makers site, and read the CAt the Ecat (catalogs)
and look up what they sell,. they sell only 2 TPS, , (16v , and 2 more for 8v, , 8v has no bearings here)

why not just buy the rockauto part and see if it fits/
or post a photo of your TPS rim with a MM ruler next to same rim and end this saga. super easy....

My issue began when Rock Auto showed TH147 for a 1996 Tracker.
From reading your pages I knew that had to be wrong. I started checking
part numbers, and found that the item is also sold under the Mikuni brand
name. Your pages did not have Mikuni numbers. I think that I may have
successfully identified those numbers. The pre or post 1996 rule does not
always apply. I have established that the 1996 Geo with California emissions
takes the 1995 part. Like you wrote, the only real way to tell is to have the
actual part in your hand.

[fixkick]

there is no need to trust any store, i never do, ever.
i decide what part I want, then go to the makers site, and there catalog, and look it up, in this case size matters, big time. due to SWAPS.
suzuki has no mikuni documents, zero. (sure then but not now)

You do know that July 1st 1995 they started using 1996 parts (AT CAMI), OBD2 and all the new laws and parts in USA< by Federal mandate.
Only one throttle body left the CAMI plant on that day, by law, unless its CANADAN, (or sent outside USA, to Africa , mexico and well I have a list but im sure that is not you, some went to Germany, with all different parts, and tagged VITARA, but yours is not a VITARA. (what CAMI did then is complex but not USA cars not at all its all FEDERAL dictates, end to end. here.
Calif has nothing to do with this, OBD2 is a USA FED LAW end to end. we invented it....

so true, only the TB in hand can you buy a sensor, due to SWAPS, why is 31 mm so hard to scale with a ruler?, (1.22" exactly = 31mm)
you do know old cars have vast swaps now, right, ??? 21years to blow an engine, and bam swapped. and now wrong engine there. so easy. then mixing parts
or ice damaged the intake or TB, and BAM wrong parts used, off a WRECK.

for sure buying parts is hard,
fixing cars easy parts is many times SUPER HARD, can take longer than the FIX by weeks.

On the suzuki side kick
they used engine code 0 for all years, G16 , making buying parts that fit , nearly impossible, some even send you 1996 , sport J18 engine parts. 3 different engine, and wrong parts seen every day for 10 years now....
j18 is code 2 but many parts sells dont know that, or mix parts, on all 3engines and worse body parts and suspensions.. yah, a pain.
