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 --------------------  |

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

You have a 2nd gen 3sgte... In US, 90-93. As far as the wires go, I know that the 2nd gen and 3rd gen 3sgte's are interchangeable. The only difference b/w them was that the 3rd gen uses a wire loom. I don't know for sure is the 1st gen 3sgte and 2nd gen are interchangeable, but I wouldn't see why not. This post has been edited by kuya1284: Apr 5, 2004 - 10:35 AM |

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 DG -------------------- |

I answered your question about the years... scroll up homie... Changes are made b/w each generation. The part numbers are different likely due to subtle changes. For example, in my post above, I stated that a difference b/w the 2nd gen and 3rd gen wire plugs is that the 3rd gen uses a wiring loom. However, the 2nd gen wire plugs can be used with a 3rd gen motor. |

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 -------------------- |

The third gen 3sgte was never released to the US. The 2nd gen is 90 to 93, so I don't see why there would be a difference b/w 90-91 and 92-93. The 3rd gen (with the wire loom) was available only from 94-98 in Japan and Europe. |
