Hello, I'm Danny.

There looks to be only a slight difference between the two idle air control valves. I've attached 2 pictures below showing the difference. I've circled in red the only difference I found which is the clocking for the wire plug connection.If you want to use your phone to take a picture and upload here the air intake manifolds I could see what they look like.Hope this helps and thanks for using 2CarPros.
