Is it a 97 or 99 2.2?

 

Hi all,

I apologize ahead of time if this is easy, I looked but I am having trouble finding out exactly what engine I have. I came across a cheap, very well running 2.2 with just over 100K. I had to leave town just after I bouth it and was having it pulled by the shop from the donor car. Upon returning There seemed to be some dissagreement on what year this actually is. Does this even matter? I beleive that the 97 is an obd1 and a 99 would be an obd2 correct?

One guy claims it's a 97 but anothe said that under the hood it said 99 obd2?

It came out of what I believe was a legacy wagon (sorry I had to leave quick for a family emergency out of state)

Any help is very appreciated as well as any thoughts on my swap- I will be getting the RMW kit.

Thank you, Todd.
 

Both 97 and 99 are OBDII engines. If you got engine, harness, ECU etc
from same car there is nothing to be concerned with
You can find out for sure by googling ECU part#

Todd,

Check the passenger side of the engine, near where it mates to the tranny, there should be a serial number there.

What is the tenth digit? It should be a letter. This letter corresponds to the year.

For the record, both 97 and 99 will be OBDII>
