Is there any way to identify the ECO version of the 2002 Cavy to the 2200 Cavy?

02 cavaliers with fogs can have either 2.4's or EcoTecs....

*most* of the cavaliers with fogs and chrome rims are EcoTecs (some Z's did get the chrome rims)

*most* of the cavaliers with Z24 badges have the 2.4 (unless your in Canada, or the dealer threw the badges on)

Pop the hood, and it says EcoTec right on the engine.

8th digit of the vin is a F (T is 2.4, 4 is 2200, 6 is BiFuel 2200)

Flex fuel aka: Ethanol.. the corn-based fuel. "Save green, go yellow", that whole thing.

WRONG
i have the 2.4 w/ fogs

easiest way to tell is if it has badges or not, and the wheels, chromies = ecotec
non chromies = 2.4

i'm 90% sure on this

^^ i beleive you are correct.

My brothers 02 z24 had fogs also, i mean why wouldnt it, its the top of the line cavalier.

The wheels are the best way to tell.

Well.... stock..... all other things equal...

Whichever one takes off faster at the light.... that's a 2.4L. The one that's really close behind is a 2.2L Ecotec... the one that's still at the line when the other two are a block away, that's the 2200.

i dunno about that, stock for stock i beat 2.4s all the time, and im on 18s. I guess it depends alot on how you can drive.
