1996 Toyota Celica Service and Repair Manual

Toyota built the 1996 Celica around two four-cylinders, the 2.2L (5S-FE) and the 1.8L (7A-FE), and this factory service and repair manual is keyed to that exact year, engine and trim, so every specification and torque sequence you work to is the one Toyota published for this car rather than a value carried over from an adjacent model year.

Known issues on the 1996 Celica. One recall is on federal record for this model year, and it concerns vehicle speed control: the cruise control system can fail to hold the speed set by the driver and accelerate above that intended set speed, and unintended acceleration can increase the potential for a vehicle accident. Owners have registered 10 complaints for the year and Toyota has issued 20 technical service bulletins.

Tracking down a cruise control that overruns its set speed, or simply working to the service schedule, you stay on Toyota's own procedure and the figures that belong to this 1996 Celica.
