The 1997 Toyota Celica ran two four-cylinder engines: the 2.2L 5S-FE in the GT and the 1.8L 7A-FE in the ST, offered across coupe, hatchback and convertible bodies with either an automatic or a manual transmission. This service and repair manual is specific to the 1997 model year, so the specifications hold for the car you are actually working on rather than for a neighboring year that shares the body.
