Throttle-body fuel injection replaced the carburetor on the 1990 Samurai, giving the 1.3L SOHC four-cylinder 66 horsepower. The fixed-roof hardtop had been dropped after 1989, so the tiny four-wheel-drive Suzuki is a two-door convertible with a five-speed manual. Carbureted and injected Samurais need different fuel, ignition and emissions data, and this factory service and repair manual gives the 1990 procedures, specifications, torque values, wiring diagrams, diagnostics and maintenance schedules for the injected engine.

Known issues on the 1990 Samurai. One recall is on federal record: the red plastic front seat-belt buckle release buttons can break and let pieces jam the buckle. Owners have filed two complaints with NHTSA, most often about the electrical system and the seat belts. The seat belt chapter of this manual covers buckle inspection and replacement for this campaign.
