Sorry to bring the whole thing up again,
In the AE92 range was there both a 4AFE and 4AFC available?
I'm about to check out an 89' 1.6 thats for sale, and i thought it would be a 4AFC, but after reading a review at www.drive.com.au (by David Morley, a guy who writes for Motor- and whos been around for ages)- i'm confused again..
Heres a quote from that article....

"Of those decade-old Corollas, it's worth starting to look from the major update of June 1989 onwards.
Back in the late 1980s, not everybody had made the switch to fuel-injection and for budget cars like the Corolla, it hadn't filtered down across the board.
So, for 1989, the Corolla range kicked off with the SE hatch as the entry-level model. The SE sedan was next and added a boot to the hatch's fairly meagre trim specification.
The standard powerplant was the carburetted 1.4-litre engine with a five-speed manual gearbox. The vastly better 1.6-litre engine could be specified, and with that came the option of the three-speed automatic transmission. It's not really worth the extra, and the 1.6 with the five-speed is the way to go, if you can find one.
Plumping for the 1.6-litre engine is not just a question of the extra capacity helping out, either. The bigger engine also got electronic fuel-injection, which boosted power and gave extra flexibility.
