Engine Identification

For quick engine identification, refer to the Safety Certification Decal. The decal is mounted on the LH front door lock face panel. Find the engine code (letter or number) on the decal, then refer to the engine identification chart to determine the engine type and size. An engine identification label is also attached to the engine. The symbol code on the identification tag identifies each engine for determining parts usage; for instance, engine displacement and model year. Engine decal information is located in Section 03-01A (2.3L) or Section 03-01B (5.0L).

Emission Calibration Label

The emission calibration number label is located on the LH side door or LH door post pillar. It identifies the engine calibration number, the engine code number and revision level.

These numbers are used to determine if parts are unique to specific engines.

Engine Emission Calibration Number Label

Always refer to these labels when replacement parts are required or when checking engine calibrations. Engine parts often differ within a CID family. Verification of identification codes will ensure that the proper parts are obtained. The codes contain all pertinent information relating to dates, optional equipment and revisions. The Ford Master Parts Catalog contains a complete listing of the codes and their application.
