well i am bit confused here I did some more reading and from what i saw
it says the 2.1 throttle body is 50mm well my spare that I thought was a 2.1
style has butterfly valve that is 44mm that is suposed to be for the 1.9
can some take a peak at these 2 pics & see if they can tell what i have on
my 1.9

as i say the confusing thing is that the one on 1.9 does not have the vacuum
port under the idle screw &&
there are no tps switches on the top

and maybe peak at this spare

and take at look on the wear on the spare

see the light around the butterfly valve is that excessive ?
the shaft is tight ...
