If your engines serial is BEFORE that#, that is the part they want you to use ..If it is After, then that is the part you use. Your engine is a 103.983, with a serial # following that. It is the serial# they want and it is the serial # that determines where your car came in the production run and therefore which production changed sensor that engine requires.

That is what the " - " signifies. That means "up to and including serial xxxxx" or "including and after serial xxxxx"

And the 10 or 12 means the car is a Manual trans or an Auto trans..so you use that to narrow yours down.
10 is man , 12 is auto.

Rather than listing the FastLane #s, why don't you just list YOUR serial # and someone here will be happy to tell you which sensor fits YOUR chassis
by simply using the FastLane info................
Ok so its gotta be the 12 one then as mine is an Auto.
Thanks!
Hopefully this will fix my MPG, and maybe (although I doubt) the misfire. Will report back in a few days with the results.

Much appreciated bearing with my "noobyness" Arthur. I have zero experience with cars so I am learning very fast!! I have no help outside of these forums so its all me learning. I really do appreciate it.
