It is spelled ecotec...officially pronounced "echo tech"... pronounced "eeko tech" by the masses here.

The engine rpo code is L61. If the cavalier or sunfire is an 03-05 it has an ecotec. But for @!#$s and giggles, here is a post of what the ecotec looks like (minus all of the charge pipes though)...click

fixed it for you. I believe some of the pre 2006 malibus were fly by wire. And you certainly can't swap in any of the 06+ ecotec's without extensive work and/or rewiring.
