Yes basically the number/letter designation is the same. There are variations of the 420a such as the Neon VS Eclipse/Avenger. The platform is the same.

The a588 is a 2.4 liter(biffed up turbo PT cruiser engine). The intake runners are on the front of the motor(420a's are on the back).

No, A588 is the code for the 420a motor period. Just like there are 420a sohc, dohc 2.4 dohc. A588 is just a designation as broad as "420a"

To say its one or the other is wrong, its all of them.
