The obvious year, 2003. Most places the deal in used or remanufactured motors will be able to tell you what years work. The biggest concern is wire harness and computer module compatibility as well as throttle and transmission controls. I don't think there is any shortage of 2.2Ls for any specific year, unless you're in the boonies.
