You have a DOHC. And the CAI that you are looking at will fit both the SOHC and the DOHC as the engine bay is almost identical. :)

They started the DOHC in late 93.

Yes, they started MAKING the DOHC in 93, but it was sold as a 94.

So, the first statement was right-- the 92 & 93 models are SOHC, while the 94+ models are DOHC.
