This factory service and repair manual for the 1987 Ford EXP covers the two-door coupe in its Luxury and Sport trims, both powered by the 1.9L inline-four with a single overhead cam, naturally aspirated and gasoline-fueled.

Known issues on the 1987 EXP. No recalls are on federal record for the 1987 EXP. Owners have logged two complaints with NHTSA, too few to point to any single system. For a coupe of this age, the manual's value lies in its procedures, specifications, torque values, wiring diagrams and diagnostics for the 1.9L engine, the transmission, brakes, suspension, steering and body, which is where wear items and electrical faults on a Luxury or Sport are most likely to need attention.
