I noticed today when i was looking up some parts that there must be some kind of defference between the 3sgte's?
there are different part numbers for:
88-89 ..... 90-91 .... and 92-93 celica engines
i wanted to get some good spark plug wires since the original ones on the engine looked to be in need of a replacement.
the clip i bought has no vin numbers to be found and i cant figure out how i can tell what year my engine would be?
does anyone know what the differences would be ?
i always thought the 3sgte's were all the same from 89-93??????????
anyone know?
thanks,
dg

Odd... Nology sells 3sgte plugs for 91 to 94 3sgte celica's...

Than TRD has;

00642-90919-002 3SGTE / MR2 1/92-11/93 $120.53 $102.45
(for mr2)

Your guess is as good as mine...

Before 90 is the 4th Gen, 90-91 is 1st version 5th, 92-93 is 2nd version 5th.

couple pics are on my profile
the only marking letf on the car when i got it was st185 0011385 and that was stamped into the firewall.....
let me know if anyone can figure it out?
thanks,

Are you talking about the wiring harness?

There are 2 different 2nd Gens, with small differences mainly in the ecu.

Right! I am wondering what the spark plug wire difference is? and i would like to know what year my engine (just so i know) when i am looking up some other parts that have crazy year references so i know what to get......
i dont know why they would make diff parts and and have different part numbers for plug wires if they were actually the same?
especially when there is a big price difference between similar parts

Thats it? ? ? ? The 90-91 & 92-93 mag wires have like a 60 dollar price difference. I just cant beleave that loom makes the price go up!!
That is crazy............
I guess I will just get the cheaper wires if there is really no difference?
Thanks,
DG
