Excuse my ignorance. What year did the ecotec engine commence? Thank you.
It was first available in the Cavalier and Sunfire mid-year 2002. The engine itself debuted in the Saturn L-series, sometime around 2000.

Just so you know, the I4 and V6 ECOTECs don't share really any characteristics and I believe the V6 is only available in Europe, Australia & New Zeiland.
Now, to answer your question:
