Is my 996 e-gas or not? How to tell

[motolz]

I need some advice.
I have a 1999 996 with a 2001 engine. I need to replace my MAF, but not sure how to tell if I have and e-gas or not. Does anyone know how to make the distinction?

Thanks in advance!!

If you have a 1999 with an engine that was a factory replacement in 2001 (versus a motor swapped out of a 2001), my understanding is you still have a cabled throttle.

I agree. Even if the replacement engine could go either way, you don't have the software for e-gas. The original plenum would have been swapped in to use the cable throttle.

Thanks for the replies! I appreciate the input as always!

For the 1999s - C2 had the cabled throttle and the C4 had e-gas. All models from 2000+ are e-gas

You can always just open the lid and take a look at the throttle body. You can see the cable on there.
