pretty sure any of them will work..but the 1995 will be the EASIEST ..as it comes with the proper throttle cable bracket .
and im pretty sure ANY 95 quad TB will work ..like grand ams and such..doest have to be a J..iirc

If I remember correctly from about 5-6 years ago...

90-95 = Yes
89-Earlier = No
I believe there was an issue with one of the earlier sensors...probably the IAC or TPS.

Also, all varients of the quad4 (DOHC and SOHC) had the same 56mm TB. As scott said though, 95' would be the easiest because of the throttle bracket issue with the earlier TB's.

The quad4 TB's aren't much larger than stock, so they don't make much of an impact on drive-ability. Therefor, yes it's fine

I'll be honest Brad. Out of all the Q4 engines I have looked at in junk yards over the years, I have never seen a heated TB. Are you sure it's not just the brake booster line your referring to?

ive seen them...i believe they are EARLY year quads...and the coolant line"housing" at the bottom should b removable..i THINK its bolted on IIRC...it wasnt until the later years they changed it to non coolant TB.

You can't use a 2.4L throttle body bracket (if that's what your asking) unless you drill the throttle wheel. With an unmoddified 2.4L bracket, the throttle plate won't completely close. That's why you use a 95' LD2 bracket.

however, i will get to it!

With everything else stock, probably very little. With other performance mods are done, then it will be more noticeable.

Indeed. First time I have seen one. If it came off of a header style intake manifold, I can almost guarantee it's from an 87-89' engine.
