I thought the 94 had the 190hp motor? Oh well, to know for sure what you have, go to http://www.courtesyparts.com/specs/vin.html

It will tell you how to read your VIN number. That VIN number will tell you all about the car.

1992-1994 SE models are the only Max's with VE
Every other 3rd gen has the vg plain and simple

Hope this helps

What Craig and Jeff said

WHOA WHOA WHOA!!! Wait.... I thought every 92-94 Max was VE... frome SE to GXE. And the only difference was that the SEs got a slight tweak that boosted them up from 160HP to 190HP at the crank.

Then speaking of learning things, the best way to find out information is by using the green link in the upper right corner of this webpage called search. Good times, thats 2 in one day.

Hey, I use the search function often enough. But I never gave this a second thought until I saw the thread and just double checked to make sure. It was active and there... just a matter of convenience...

How can somebody with more than 10-20 posts on the org not know that?
You're bound to run across that information just browsing through threads, not even looking for it.

Hmmm... first off, I know what engine I have in my car, always have, and always will. It was an active thread and up till then, I didn't really care whether some of the 92-94 Maxs had VGs or not. It was information Craig had posted up and I was just looking for "yes that is absolutely true" or "no it's bs". Jesus, sometimes I swear to god you guys are just a little too eager to flame.

Just remember from now on that what Craig B says is gospel and should never be questioned.

Bunny - I wasn't trying to be rude to you, just confirming the stats

all 89-94 SE came standard with white face gauges
the GXE came with black gauges (unless they had the digital dash option from 89-91)

no dealer option for white gauges, but it can be easily swapped
