VIN code question

Hi!
I checked the VIN code on my bird on carfax and it showed it was supposed to be a TBI engine. But infact it is a TPI. Is carfax unreliable? I tried searching for other vin searchers but couldn't find any.
Here's my code: 1G2FW21F0KL226326
I'd be happy if anyone could help me out on this.
Thanks!

Re: VIN code question

Your 8th digit "F" makes it a 305 TPI.
