First Drive Not So Encouraging, Help and Advice Needed

[MSGGrunt]

When looking up parts for these trucks, especially electrical with connectors, how do I know I am getting the correct part when I am not seeing they ask for a model year? I am on Source One Parts Center and this is what comes up. Part number ME132527. Does this look correct?

I have regularly found that the items listed in the dealer's parts books do not match the parts on my truck.
If sourcing parts online, I try to find listings that have actual images of the part being sold, opposed to simply relying on the part number alone.
Not always possible, but this approach generally results in getting the part I want.

As an example, regarding this specific part, I see that Mitsubishi seem to use the same part on different vehicles.
Look at Pajero/Shogun (2000-2006) with the part number MI4068. If this is identical to the part on your truck, it may be a cheaper option than a Fuso listed part.

There has to be a way of getting this part other than the UK?

Did you try Tom's Trucks in California? They typically carry a lot of Fuso parts.

Check Engine Light has returned. Twice now upon start up the CEL comes on and the engine doesn't respond to any throttle input. Turn the key off, restart and the CEL is not on and throttle input is normal. Thoughts?

I have to look for the connectors for "blink" testing, but didn't immediately see them once the dash was removed.

That is the only thing that will definitively tell you what the ECU is complaining about.
Those are my thoughts...

Another update. Tonight after work I went to start the truck and it started, but the check engine light came on and no RPM above 1,000. Turned it off and restarted the truck 4 or 5 times and every time the check engine light was on and low on power, but on the 6th cycle no check engine light and the engine rev'd normally.

I hate guessing and would like to at least have some direction other than reading it could be a TPS, but why randomly? Where are the wires located on a 2005 model year to do the blink test? I looked and didn't see anything that looked like the connectors in that video. Also, I have two OBD ports, one on the left (driver's) side low by the A pillar and another as part of the fuse box in the center of the vehicle. The center one is referenced in the FSM where you connect the Mitsubishi tester, but nothing about the other OBD port.

And another question, are the OBDII scan tools different between cars and heavy-duty trucks? Seems so, but I thought I'd ask. Any scanners that work with the Fuso that are not the Autel and cost thousands of dollars? I wouldn't be opposed to spending a few hundred dollars if I knew the scanner actually worked.
