It's a 2002, 4WD, 5 speed manual, I bought it used and I do not have the specifications.

How can I tell what the engine is by looking under the hood?

Please explain any technical terms - I'm a neophyte with this stuff.
Doh! (I should have known that).

Thanks everyone.
 
the quickest and easiest way is to check the distributor on how many plugs are running to it if it is a 4cyl you will see 4 or 5 wires 4 leading to the spark plugs and 1 to the ignition if it is a 6cyl you will see 6 or 7 wires 6 leading to the spark plugs and 1 leading to the ignition
