Welcome to the forums! Yep, it'll be a 4A-FE. To make sure, there are a couple of places you can check. The first would be on the manufacturer's plate on the firewall. The most reliable place to check however is on the actual engine block itself. You should be able to see it next to the final bolt to the right of the exhaust manifold. It'll be stamped vertically on the block so you may have to get down quite low, and possibly have to remove your heatshield.

Here's some pics. The first one is scanned from my user manual, the rest were taken of my 5A-FE (the next generation up, but the engine code is stamped in the same place) -

Sweet! Thanks so much. Do you know if I can get the official Toyota shop manual from a dealer since it is a 92 or do I have to hunt the net?

No worries . You could try your local Toyota dealer, but these days the shop manuals that they use are all server based so I don't think you'll have much luck. Worth a try though on the odd chance that they have one or know where to get one. Good luck

fellow All-Trac driver! It's a fun wagon, not the fastest thing around, but pretty reliable.

As for the shop manuals, you should be able to order them new, although used ones do sometimes pop up on ebay. Recently there was a set (shop manual + electrical wiring manual) of both on ebay for under $40 I believe.

Newer is pricey. It seems this is the page for 1992 Corollas, but the All-Trac repair manual isn't listed. I don't know... make sure before you buy one, being that they cost so much!

I only see the All-Trac specific repair manual listed under 1988:

At least the electrical manual is much cheaper!

You could try E-bay or Craigslist.
