This factory service and repair manual for the 1992 Ford Cougar covers the two-door coupe in two trims, V8 and XR-7, with a choice of the 5.0L overhead-valve V8, naturally aspirated, or the 3.8L overhead-valve V6 with a supercharger, both running on gasoline. Each engine gets its own procedures, specifications, torque values, wiring diagrams and diagnostics. The gap between a supercharged six and a naturally aspirated eight shows up in the specifications, so identifying the engine before opening the book matters on this car.
