1993 Ford Tempo Service and Repair Manual

This factory service and repair manual for the 1993 Ford Tempo is for two trims, GL and LX, in the four-door sedan and the two-door sedan, with either the naturally aspirated 3.0L OHV V6 or the naturally aspirated 2.3L OHV inline-four, both gasoline engines.

Known issues on the 1993 Tempo. Federal records show two recalls. One applies to 3.0L cars in a few listed states, where the engine cooling fan, shroud, wiring or fan motor can smoke or catch fire; the other is the ignition switch, which can short internally and overheat, smoke or burn within the steering column. Owners have registered 283 complaints with NHTSA, and engine and engine cooling and seat belts are nearly level at the top, with the electrical system behind them. The manual's cooling fan wiring diagrams and V6 cooling diagnostics, its seat belt procedures and its ignition switch specifications are the sections that record points to.
