You are correct about RPO K18. If that code is included in the RPO code list, the vehicle is equipped with the Air Injection Reactor, (AIR) system. The "X" engine code indicates that the fuel injectors are located at the intake ports. The "W" engine code uses a centrally located single injector on 1995 and older engines. 1996 and newer "W" engines use 6 mini injectors centrally located in the plenum. The AIR system was used on certain, (not all) "W" and "X" engines starting in 1999.
