I don't have it in front of me, but I do remember that last digits of the part I pulled out were 71 and I replaced with a Bosch and the last two digits of it were 70. I know it is the same Bosch others have been using and I am not sure why the part number is different.
The one I had in was the original and I had 10 years and 59,000 miles on it. I think it has been causing problems for some time though. It has not always liked to start for the last couple of years and has been idling rough. Finally, it almost wouldn't start last Friday and I got a check engine light. So, I purchased an OBD II Bluetooth reader and read out the CPS failed code.
It runs like new again now
. I am sure my arms will heal in a few weeks....
