2.4 vs 2.3?

[chaz132]

hi, I have a 1995 grand am with a quad-4
when I look online at info on them. It is always listed as a 2.3L engine that produces 145lbs torque. now when I pop my hood and look at it, it says it is a 2.4L. I have looked online and 96 and newer are 2.4 and produce 155lbs torque. my question is basicaly if anyone knows if they made a 2.4L engine in 95 and if not, I guess I have a 96 or better engine which would better explain the low milage, but still kinda bother me cause it isnt the orginal
any help on this one would be much apperciated

Check your VIN and it should say the year of the vehicle.

95' Grand Am's had 5 engine options available, But they 4 of them are 2.3L and one is a 3.3L , if you have a 2.4 it sounds like someone put a new engine in the car, which isn't all that bad, cuz now you have a better, and newer engine. If you are curious do what Slade said which is Check the VIN.

there is a possibility if your 95 was produced later in the year that they put a 2.4 in it, cuz GM is known to put things in car's that normally aren't in that specific car.

Manufacturing dates are located in the drivers door on an ugly ass sticker and on the trunk spare wheel cover. It will have a date of manufacture in there on the top , if it says 09/15/95 then its most likely a 96 model put out in late 95. If its under 06/30/95 then its most likely a 95 made late in the year for supply to dealers , most new year models are made early before the year comes. Show me your manufacturing date and i can tell you.
