Toyota built the 1997 Paseo around a single engine — the 1.5L DOHC four (5EFE) — offered in a coupe and a convertible body. This factory service and repair manual is written to that model year, so the torque figures and service specifications in it are the ones Toyota published for the 1997 car rather than values carried over from the years on either side of it.

Known issues on the 1997 Paseo. No federal recall campaigns are on record for this model year. Owners have filed 1 complaint for the year, while Toyota has issued 16 technical service bulletins, so what the factory has documented on this car sits in the bulletins rather than in recall campaigns.
Whether you are chasing a bulletin-documented fault or working through a routine service interval on the coupe or the convertible, it keeps you on Toyota's own procedure and the specification that matches your 1997 Paseo.
