Known issues on the 1987 Starion. Owners lodged 2 complaints against the 1987 Starion, one logged under seat belts and one under seats, and 1 of those complaints reported an injury. Both involve the cabin rather than the drivetrain, so the relevant material is the body procedures and torque values for the seats and seat belts. Beyond the interior, the manual gives procedures, specifications, diagnostics and wiring diagrams for the turbocharged engine, the fuel, ignition and cooling systems, and the brakes, suspension and steering.
