MPFI uses a much more common style of sensor, connector plugs directly to it and there are no pigtails. The SPFI one has those wires and a connector. I believe you COULD use the MPFI one if you change the connector because they output in the same range. I am not sure if they have the same threads however.

I've been running an MPFI one in my SPFI for a year or so.

No problems so far.

SPFI ('88-'94)

SPFI ('86-'87 only -referred to as an "Air Charge Tempeperature Sensor")

 

For some reason they charge almost double for the '88-'94 SPFI version than the '86-'87 version of essentially the same part, just with a diff. connector. Weird.

 

Edit - I fixed all the links - should work now
