Default O2 sensor and TPS

Hey guys (and gals), JSeabert and I are working on his car.......first thing, does anyone know the P/N for a TPS sensor? 93SSE. (rat?)

Second, we discovered something interesting. There are apparently more differences between the 93 SSE and SSEi.....My O2 sensor is a 1-wire.....with ground coming from the exhuast. Josh'* is a 3-wire. Is this the same as a 94 SSE? Allmachtige? Anyone? Need to know how many wires you have, and if this is an indication of a pre-heated unit. I don't understand why the Series I would differ between NA and SC on this part.

I looked in the 93 service manual for ya...

The supercharged engine has a one-wire oxygen sensor, while the N/A engine has a three-wire oxygen sensor. But you already knew that!

I think you are right about the sensor being heated, but I can only verify the wires by the manual. FYI, I changed my sensor last week and it had one wire.

The P/N for the 92 is 25532800 BUT for 93, GM doesn't list one in my book! It just lists the TB service Kit P/N 24501318 though. :? As for the O2 Sensors...The 1 wire is non-heated, while the other 3 wire is heated!

Its below 40F out, I am NOT going out to check. But from what I recall mine does have more than 1 wire. And Deathrat pretty much proved it.

jr3800 is correct. I was cleaning my TB, and made the mistake of removing my TPS and then just bolting it back on without calibrating it. The car ran like crap. You have to jumper the wires and use a digital multimeter to correctly position it for the correct idle voltage.
