Keep it simple.
Stay with what you have.
Less problems.
What year is yours ?

They will interchange physically, 2009 and up 2.2’s have VVT as do the 2.4 .
Sensors may need to be changed for the new 2.4.
I suggest you do some investigating and compare part numbers .
The throttle body might have a different connection.
The ECM might be programmed differently.
hellshotrod can answer those questions. David has handled this swap before.
