Hi, i have been driving 2009 mazda 5 us with 2.3 engine, i found out on wikipedia, that output of this engine could be 117 or 119 kw. How can i find out exact output? Vehicle vin is JM1CR293190346325
Thank you very much.

 

Does anyone know please?

 

While I don't know if this information can be decoded from the VIN, it is my understanding that the lower powered cars were produced for the CARB states. If your car was originally ordered by a dealership in a CARB state, Canada, or in a state that borders a CARB state, the chances are pretty high you have an engine that has the lower power rating.

See to section titled "Motor Vehicles" at the following link for more information on CARB states:

Thanks a lot. The car has california license plate, so its probably the lower output.

 

Highly-HIGHLY likely.
