1991 Mazda MPV Service and Repair Manual
Fitment is the whole point here: this factory service and repair manual is tied to the 1991 Mazda MPV as it was actually built, down to the year, the engine — the 2.6L four-cylinder or the 3.0L V6 (JE) — and the trim, so the values it quotes and the sequences it steps you through are the ones Mazda released for your van rather than an approximation carried over from a neighboring year.

Known issues on the 1991 MPV. Three recalls are on federal record for this model year. One covers the ignition switch: the grease applied to the contact points inside the switch can become conductive and overheat, and if the ignition switch overheats there would be an increased risk of a fire. A second covers the rear drum brake linings, whose coefficient of friction can increase as the brakes wear, producing inconsistent rear brake performance and premature activation of the ABS system, which can cause sudden stops or increased braking distances and result in increased risk of a vehicle accident. The third covers the front seat belt buckles: the red plastic release buttons can break, and pieces can fall into the buckle assembly causing the buckle to operate improperly, so the safety belts would not provide adequate protection to an occupant in a vehicle crash. Owners have filed 78 complaints for the year.
Whether you are tracing a hot ignition switch, measuring rear lining wear before the ABS starts cutting in early, or inspecting a front belt buckle, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for this 1991 MPV.
