the sticker in your trunk will say, or it's in a few places under the hood, I forget where though.

Default Mine was somewhere under the platic "make my engine bay less ugly" shield.

IIRC. It also looked like it was put there with a nail and a hammer.

Default its right there on the engine haha...

just remove the black plastic engine cover

should be a sticker on the valve cover, also on the cyl head on the drivers side closer to the front of the car a piece on metal extends outward and has the engine code stamped on it... hard to explain easy to see

btw you should have an aeb engine unless it was swapped

Default Look here...

As you are staring at the engine from the front looking towards the windshield...

There is a tab on the cylinder head. It's on the front of the head near the cam position sensor. If you look straight down at that tab from above, the letters for the engine code should be etched in. If you've got a 98.5, it has to be an AEB engine.

Cheers,
