The 1992 Toyota MR2 was sold with two very different four-cylinder engines — the naturally aspirated 2.2L (5S-FE) and the turbocharged 2.0L (3S-GTE) — both mounted behind the seats in Toyota's mid-engine layout, which is what makes engine-bay access its own part of almost every job on this car. Specifications diverge sharply between the two engines, so the right figure depends on which MR2 is sitting in front of you.

Known issues on the 1992 MR2. One recall is on federal record for this model year, and it covers the air bags: the driver's occupant protection system — the steering wheel and air bag together — exceeds the 60G thorax criterion in NHTSA crash tests, so the occupant protection system does not comply with the energy absorption requirements of FMVSS 208. Owners have filed 1 complaint for this model year, and 11 technical service bulletins have been issued.
Whether the work is an air bag system inspection behind the steering wheel, turbocharger diagnosis on the turbocharged 2.0L, or a routine service interval on the naturally aspirated 2.2L, the procedure and the numbers change with the engine actually fitted — and these are Toyota's own for the 1992 MR2.
