1994 Ford Aspire Service and Repair Manual

This factory service and repair manual for the 1994 Ford Aspire covers the 1.3L SOHC inline-four, a naturally aspirated gasoline engine, in the two-door hatchback and the four-door hatchback. Two trims are listed, Base and SE. Procedures, specifications, torque values, wiring diagrams and diagnostics are arranged by system, so the engine, the fuel lines routed through its compartment and the restraint system that dominates this year's complaints are each covered in sections of their own.

Known issues on the 1994 Aspire. Two recalls are on federal record for this car. One concerns fuel supply, return and vapor hoses that may have been positioned too close to surrounding components during assembly, where chafing could cause a leak in the engine compartment and a fire; the other is a certification label that omitted the date of manufacture. Owners have filed 61 complaints with NHTSA, with air bags the largest group, followed by visibility and the power train. Fuel system procedures, restraint system diagnostics and driveline specifications in this manual cover those areas.
