Well, it's definitely a 9A engine. Whatever else is going on with the internals is a mystery. I would just buy all the replacement parts you need for the 9A and be done with it.

1.  yes there is an ecu and it has a techtronics chip in it that says 16v 2.0

2.  i think it does have 2 knock sensors on the front of the block to the left of the block breather fitting?  each one looks the same, one has a bare wire the whole length, and each goes to its own wire harness clip.

3.  this car is disabled on the driveway and im struggling to get it higher for me to get underneath.  i was trying to feel around back there from underneath looking up and all i can find on the drivers side lower block is a big embossed A

i'm new to these cars so im scared its some kind of other engine.  this still doesn't explain how this car was using the larger im shaft and smaller oil pump gear?  there isn't a mark anywhere on those parts so obviously they aren't hitting the guts of the engine.

Does it have a ECU mounted under the plastic tray at the base of the windshield?  The tray covers the windshield wiper motor, and is held on by some clips. If it does, it's probably a 9A. The 1.8 liter 16V doesn't utilize an ECU.

I don't recall you saying what year your car is. If it's a '91-'92 2.0 liter 16V, the engine designation is 9A.

is there some kind of decoder?  when i search google i come up with few and differing answers.  i want to find out what engine i have so i can make sure i get the right intermediate shaft and stock parts to get it smogged.


the block says:  051 103 021

the head says:  051103373
