Have you tried calling the Toyota dealership? If anyone knows the right part number it's them!

That's because there are 2 part numbers. One for VZN160 models(w/5VZ-FE, 5 speed MTM, Regular cab), and one for VZN170 models(w/5VZ-FE, 5 speed MTM, Extra cab)

ENGINE CONTROL COMPUTER 89661-04300 1996.09-1997.06 VZN160
Replaced by: 89661-04300-84

ENGINE CONTROL COMPUTER 89661-04310 1996.09-1997.06 VZN170..R

Those are A1 Cardone part numbers, not Toyota OE.

With a VIN I can look up the part in the toyota parts catalog and you can get the correct cardone part.
