I doubt its a 1.4 8v MPI they only put that in the SRI before 1995 unless its had an engine swap.

Its most probably an X14SZ in that case its got a DIS
Go to this link click on select a vehicle then put your reg in and it will tell you what engine you have.

You can put in a set of dials with a rev counter if you get one from a scrapy.
