The 1ZZ is the standard engine. The 2ZZ is a more powerful engine from other  Mr T models but not available in the MR2.

You would know if you had a 2ZZ one as the seller would have wanted more money for it!

Im sure you have the 1zz but just for reference on the 2zz if you look near where the belts are located there will be cast into the aluminum cylinder head "Yamaha" as Yamaha was involved in the engineering.

The 1zz will have a cast in the aluminum wich says "boring economy motor"  hahaha

If you have a 2ZZ engine it sounds like this from 6,000-8,000 rpm:

(Minus the Canadian).

If you have a 1ZZ, it just sounds like rods and pistons sprinkling themselves all over the road behind you from 6,000-8,000 rpm.
