Also, if reading the top of the engine is out of the question, if the headers aren't on the front of the engine, I assure you that it is not a 2.2L OHV. There is also a 2.2L ecotec(I'm not really sure which one you thought you had) - IIRC 2002 was the first year you could get them but ecotecs really aren't my thing so I could be(and probably am) wrong. In any case looking at the engine is a pretty good indicator.
I've never heard of this "part throttle" before. Does it just bolt on?
Actually unless it's an electric car you do not have a motor (other than window motors and the starter motor), you have an engine. Normally there will be a sticker under the hood for emissions purposes, and it will state what the displacement of your engine is.
aside from the emmissions label, look at the top of the mnotor. on the 2.2l ohv it will say 2200 on the top of the airbox above the throttle body. also, the intake manifold is by the firewall and exaust manifold near the rad support. if it says "twin cam" on the valve cover, its a 2.4l, and if it sway ecotec, thats obviously a 2.2l ecotec.
could always look at the serial number,take it in and get a history run up on it.It will tell you almost everything.

Haha I almost made a comment on that, so many people call their engines "motors."

Hello, I am from Peru (so, I speak spanish) and I have this doubt, is there any difference between "engine" and "motor"? Are they the same? As far as I know, "engine" is most popular or used, but can I use "motor" too?
Thanks

An engine is typically a mechanical device, whereas a motor is typically an electrical device. Swapping the two names is similar to swapping "wheel" and "tire". Lots of people call tires wheels. Its not technically correct, but everyone knows what they're talking about.
