Engine Size Info

[jvcuenca]

Ok, I finally got the new water pump in place, the radiator hose, the thermostat and the new belt drive. Since, I have the car still on the jack stands, I decided to replace my spark plugs but when I removed the old one, the part number and the brand is different from what I purchased. Also, I am not sure what my car's engine size is: whether it is a 2.5 or 2.7 liter. I looked for any information in and out of the car but couldn't find it. Any ideas where I can find this info???

I'll be starting to replace the oxygen sensor as well and I just want to know if you guys have used this type of oxygen sensor:

OXYGEN SENSOR

Thanks...

My understanding is that MY97, 98, and 99 were 2.5 liter and the 2.7 liter engine started in MY2000.

Thanks Loren...I just want to make sure because the spark plugs I bought was for a 2.5L Have you look at the oxygen sensor I bought from oxygen geek.com? Would there be any difference between the bosch from oxygeeks?? thanks

I don't know about the O2 sensor.

Some folks here have reported problems with aftermarket O2 sensors and some folks have had no problems with them.

If you don't want to spring for the costlier Bosch direct fit replacement O2 sensor, the universal Bosch ones that require you to splice the wires are in the same price ballpark (maybe a little cheaper) that the ones that are direct fit replacement from the Oxygengeek website.

Several electrically informed posters on this board have explained that there is no difference in the performance of the universal type of O2 sensor (as long as it is the correct Bosch application number) as compared to the direct fit Bosch unit. I had always been under the impression that splicing the wires (or soldering them) would make a difference because of the change in the resistance values of the spliced wires, but that is apparently not the case.
