This factory service and repair manual for the 1986 Ford EXP is specific to the 1.9L inline-four, a single-overhead-cam, naturally aspirated gasoline engine that is the only powerplant listed for this year. The two-door hatchback is covered in two trims, Luxury and Sport. Since both trims share the engine and body, the procedures, specifications, torque values, wiring diagrams and diagnostics apply equally to either, whether the job is a timing component, a brake overhaul, suspension bushings or an electrical fault trace.
