Can someone decode vin for me
 
Jm1fb3312f0872831 got this car for for free. Perfect body, perfect paint new tires and trim is in great condition. Interior is original so it’s worn. 115,000 Miles. I know nothing about these vehicles but I heard they are a blast to drive. Won’t start so I’ll have to take it into a shop here in Tucson. Could use a referral for a shop specializing on these cars

Thank you. Yes I saw that online too. After I asked the Forum. I was still confused because after the 33 there is a 12. I was expecting to see a 1 or a 2 only, not 12. So I didn’t know if that ment it was a 12a or a 13b. So this is a 1.3 thank you. Doesn’t start but engine is very clean looking for a 1985 car. I’ll have to take it into a shop find out what’s up. I heard that after about 100,000 mi they need to be rebuilt. �� Is that true?

Thank you all for al your help. So it’s a 12A 1.1 not a 13B 1.3. Bummer I thought all 84--85 were 13b.

The engine itself has a 12A or 13B on it also.

JM133 1 = 12A
JM133 2 = 13B

I don't think any of the VIN services like CareFax etc... can go back after a certain year.

The services only go back to 1980 because they started numbering A=1980 for the 10th digit.

only the gsl-se in 84-85 came with the fuel injected 6 port 13B.

Mazda doesn't even go back that far either, its 81+
