The numbers refer to the engine's displacement, the 3.1L has 0.3L more. The 3.1L has about 10 more horsepower and gets better mileage with the right transmission.

We have a 1987 Celebrity that we put a 3.1L engine in. The boost in performance is noticeable, as is the increased mileage.

Is there a difference in a 96 and a 97 cavalier 2.2L engine such as in the wiring Is there two difference wiring diagrams of the 2.2L engine and where can I get a complete photo of a 96 and 97 2.2 eg?

There is a difference in the wiring and ECU between 96 and 97. I don't have a wiring diagram for them, but I believe most haynes manuals should have it. The 97 harness and ECU is a much more desirable setup if you intend to tune the engine since the 96 ECU is not supported by any aftermarket tuning programs.
