Does a 1998 Protege SE 5-speed have 1.5L or 1.8L engine?

Here's why:

* 1.5L engines were only found in the base Protege models of that year.

* 1.8L engines were standard on the SE and ES trims, offering more power and torque.

You can confirm this by checking the VIN number or looking at the engine bay for a sticker with the engine size.
