This service and repair manual is matched to the 1991 Toyota Celica by year, engine and trim, so it speaks to the car actually in your driveway rather than to an adjacent model year — whether that car runs the turbocharged 2.0L (3S-GTE), the 2.2L (5S-FE) or the 1.6L (4A-FE).

Known issues on the 1991 Celica. One recall is on federal record for this model year, and it falls under suspension. Ride Control recalled certain front strut mounts branded as Gabriel Ride Control or ArvinMeritor, part numbers 142435, 142193, 142305 and 142303, sold as replacement equipment for this vehicle; the absence of the weld can allow the strut to come out of its mounting position. Owners have filed 35 complaints against the 1991 Celica, and 12 technical service bulletins are on record for it.
Check the engine and trim against your car before you start: on the 1991 Celica the figures diverge sharply between the naturally aspirated four-cylinders and the turbocharged 2.0L, and between the C52 and S53 gearboxes.
