    well if the 234 4162 is the right one it doesnt plug right in! they are similar but i had to remove some of the plastic to join them together the wires were in the right place though and the truck bucks in 2nd gear.it didnt use to i put the broken one back in gas mileage is horrible but at least its a smoother ride! do you think they sent the wrong one? shouldnt the 2 plugs match?any ideas

    Should have plugged right in . Seems they sent you the wrong one or the right one with the wrong connection installed ( I don't think Denso made this mistake ) . Call Denso at 1-888-96-DENSO and make sure that it should mate up . I hate flea bay ! It is a roll of the dice buying from them.
