shit, that dude has done his research

Good job with the info you posted. If I remember right the first year (1982) had the crappy GM computer controlled carburetor and the following year had the EFI throttle body injection. I had an '84 Skyhawk that was EFI.

just in addition that was J-bodies not just cavs. The turbos were sunbirds!

and there were, Chevrolet Cavaliers, Pontiac Sunbirds, Cadillac Cimmarons, Buik Skyhawks, Oldmobile Firenzas, Pontiac J2000s & Pontiac Sunfires.

1994 also had a 2.2 ohv. I gots me one. Great Car

exactly what is ecotec ??

The ecotech is the newest J-body engine. Available in 2002 and 2003 and up only engine available. The Cobale replacement will have the Eco in it also. 2.2 OHC.

Oops, spelled Ecotec wrong.

Cobalt too! :lol2: :loser:

EcoTec is Economical Technology but it's not really either compared to other maunfacturers! There is a 2.4 EcoTec coming out later this year in Saturs and Pontiac, This is also the Motor for the Cobalt SS not the Cobalt SS Supercharged- 2.0 (destroked 2.2 ecotec) the 2.4 will make 170hp n/a.

there were 2.2 eco in the 02's it was an option in the z24's/LS sport

also the 2.4 eco just got 5 more hp added to it so 175hp
