so how do i find out my engine info?

Answer 1

A quick call to the local Toyota dealer would answer this question correctly.

Answer 2

if it is the all trac model it would have the 2.0l turbo engine which is correct

Answer 4

i wouldnt go by the year on the registration card, those are usually wrong because at the DMV you can put down any year on the registration card which most people do. I would check the production date inside the driverside door. there should be a sticker with info of the production date usually top right corner of the sticker along with tire pressure ect ect. the month is crucial when you find the date. anything from 7/92 until 6/93 will be a 93 model. if it was made in the 7th 8th 9th ect month of the year 93, it will actually be considered a 94.  also, the VIN (vehicle identification number) will not be on the engine. the casting number will be on the engine block

Answer 5

  I have run into this before whit other makes. The quickest way is to see which year ( usually one before or just after yours) and order the parts for that year. Some times at the end of an assembly run they would run out of engines and use an engine for the next run. But to answer your question there is a flat spot on the engine block next to the transmission, hopefully on the front.Good luck.

Answer 6

There is no VIN on your engine... The 8th Digit of the vin # tells you what engine the car has in it..
