Urgent - Can you identify this as a 2bar vs 3 bar sensor?

I'm pretty sure since it ends in "-CA" that's the 2-bar. I'm still checking. I'm thinking the part number ending in, "-AB" is the 3-bar.

aa5z-9f479-b is the part number for the 3 bar that I ordered from Rock Auto. I believe you have the stock 2 bar.

You can always compare the MAP sensor (yes there is one) on the CAC-throttle body interface. That is a 3 bar sensor. Stock, the MAP sensor atop the intake manifold is 2 bar.

Thanks everyone. It is a 2 bar. Just bought the car and the info I have is hearsay. I just want to be sure the 3 bar was installed before I installed the Unleashed 93 tune. The photo above is what was in the glove box. The 3 bar was installed. It doesn't make sense they would have left the tune on the car but kept the tuner. It would be worthless to them due to being married to this car?? Unless they pay. Would have made more sense to return to stock, install 2 bar, then trade car... Whatever, I'm set now. :)

It is my understanding that a stock tune will throw a code if used with a 3BAR...

^stock car with a 3bar won't run well enough to even attempt to drive it. Much less have you run it long enough to get a code.
