This factory service and repair manual for the 1991 Ford Cougar is built around two engines, the naturally aspirated 5.0L overhead-valve V8 and the supercharged 3.8L overhead-valve V6, both gasoline-fueled. The car is a two-door coupe offered in two trims, V8 and XR-7. Procedures, specifications, torque values, wiring diagrams and diagnostics cover both engines, which is the point of a factory book for a year in which a supercharged six and a naturally aspirated eight were listed for the same coupe.

Known issues on the 1991 Cougar. NHTSA's record on the 1991 Cougar is empty on both counts, with no recalls and no owner complaints logged against the car. The manual's value on a clean-record coupe like this one lies in the procedures, specifications, torque values, wiring diagrams and diagnostics for the 5.0L V8 and the supercharged 3.8L V6, two engines that share a body but very little else in the way of service numbers.
