Do you have a 2gn neon 2000-2005? Is it an SRT-4? If not than it is a SOHC

if you don't have a neon and you don't know what engine it has, you can check the cam gears as stated above, or you can also look at the valve cover... if it says twin cam, or DOHC, or dual overhead cam... that's a good sign...
