This factory service and repair manual for the 1996 Ford Sable covers the 3.0L DOHC V6, a naturally aspirated gasoline engine, in the four-door sedan across three trims: GS, LS and LS VIP. The manual's procedures, specifications, torque values, wiring diagrams and diagnostics are built around that one engine, and since all three trims share the same body and drivetrain, the mechanical sections apply equally to a GS and an LS VIP, from the engine and transmission through the brakes and suspension to the electrical system.
