Known issues on the 1991 Cabriolet. On an open car of this vintage, the systems that carry the most weight are the fuel and ignition systems feeding the single-overhead-cam inline-four, the cooling system that keeps it at temperature, and the electrical system. The manual supplies procedures, specifications and diagnostics for those, plus torque values for the engine, transmission and suspension and wiring diagrams for the body electrics. Wiring diagrams address the electrical system of the Base, Carat and Etienne Aigner cars.
