About this 2.0 liter motronic engine...does anyone have experience w/these engines? What does "motronic" fuel injection mean, anyhow?

P.B.--Can you tell us any more about the engine? It's gas powered, air-cooled, I gather. I see three 2.0 liter motronic engines listed on the "engine swap" page at http://www.volkswagen.org/--I'm wondering if it's any of the following:

8-Valve Motronic 2.0L (93-98 Golf/Jetta/Cabriolet) HP: 115@5400 Torque (ft/lb): 135@3200 Eng. Code: ABA

8-valve Motronic 2.0L (Beetle / 99 Jetta) HP: 115@5200 Torque (ft/lb): 122@2600 Eng. Code AEG (Motronic)

16-valve CIS-Motronic 2.0L (90+ Golf/Jetta/Passat) HP: 134@5800 Torque (ft/lb): 133@4400 Engine Code 9A

Think Spring!
