This factory service and repair manual for the 1996 Ford Mystique is written for the four-door sedan in LS and LS VIP trims, two in all, with one engine: the 2.5L DOHC V6 of 155 cubic inches, naturally aspirated and gasoline fueled. One engine and one body keep the scope tight, so the procedures, specifications, torque values, wiring diagrams and diagnostics go straight to the V6 and the sedan's chassis, brakes, steering and body, with the LS VIP covered alongside the LS where the two differ.
