Look at the intake. On the crossover there should only be one sensor that is on the passenger side for the PIs. If there is also a sensor next to the thermostat housing then it is non PI.

Look at the very 1st runner of your intake manifold.. If it runs to the driver side, you at least got a pi intake, then you can go from there.. If it runs to the passanger side, you have non-pi stuff still on your car..

Also, the easiest way to check which definitely isn't 100%, if the oil filler neck is on the passenger side, it's PI. If it's on the right then you probably have non-PI, but if they used the right heads then they could have reused the original valve covers still, that's why I say it's not 100%.

WOW..WOW..WOW..PEOPLE C'MON what kind of valve covers you got?? Is the fill on the pass. side or the driver side? You can't look at the intake as that won't tell you anything other than you might have a PI on a non-pi car. Most intakes are tapped for that second sensor and you will not beable to tell!

If you really want to know, put the car and gear and floor it. If it feels like someone just grabbed it from behind with a towtruck around 4500 RPM then you have a NPI car.. if it feels like it pulls all they way to around 5500 you have a PI car
