Whether your 1991 Toyota MR2 left the factory with the naturally aspirated 2.2L four (5S-FE) or the turbocharged 2.0L (3S-GTE), this factory service and repair manual is matched to that exact year, engine and trim, so the clearances, torque figures and service sequences you work to are the ones Toyota published for this car rather than values carried over from an adjacent model year or the other engine.

Known issues on the 1991 MR2. One recall is on federal record for this model year, and it covers the air bags: the occupant protection system does not comply with the energy absorption requirements of FMVSS 208. In NHTSA crash testing the driver's occupant protection system, meaning the steering wheel and air bag together, exceeds the 60G thorax criterion. Owners have filed 14 complaints for the year and Toyota has issued 11 technical service bulletins.
The two 1991 powertrains share a badge but not a spec sheet, so the first thing to settle before any job on this car is which engine it left the factory with. Every figure you then work to follows from that answer.

THE OCCUPANT PROTECTION SYSTEM DOES NOT COMPLY WITH THEENERGY ABSORPTION REQUIREMENTS OF FMVSS 208. THIS REDUCES THE CRA
REPLACE THE STEERING WHEEL WITH A MODIFIED WHEEL DESIGNED FOR INCREASED ENERGY ABSORPTION.
