Chrysler Stealth Technical Manual – Factory Specs You Can Torque To

If you’re working on a Stealth and relying on aftermarket manuals, you already know the problem. Torque specs that don’t match, wiring diagrams that skip pins, and suspension bolt patterns that were apparently invented by someone who never held a wrench. This Chrysler Stealth Technical Manual—284 pages of factory documentation—is what Chrysler issued to their own dealership techs. It’s not a reprint. It’s the original OEM file. The safety notice on page 2 alone is worth reading before you touch a spring-loaded fastener.

Front Suspension and Electronic Control Suspension (ECS)

This manual breaks down the front suspension into three sub-sections: General Information, Front Axle, and Electronic Control Suspension (ECS). If you’ve ever chased a clunk from the front end of an AWD Stealth, the ECS section gives you the sensor checks and actuator resistance specs. The control unit pinouts are listed under the Electrical group, but the suspension chapter tells you how to disconnect the system safely without triggering a fault code. Need the rear axle? The viscous coupling type limited slip differential gets its own sub-section. That’s the kind of detail aftermarket PDFs skip.

Does This Manual Cover the ABS System?

Yes—separate sections for FWD and AWD versions. The Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) chapters start with General Information and move straight into hydraulic unit removal and wheel speed sensor resistance testing. Page references for the ABS control unit connector are buried in the Electrical diagnosis systems chapter, but the brake section tells you the bleeding sequence and accumulator pressure specs. For a car with as many electronic systems as the Stealth, having the correct ABS wiring is the difference between a functional brake job and a code-fest that eats your weekend.

284 Pages of Factory Data

Every group index entry is a real system, not a generic outline. Clutch, cooling, electrical, engine, intake and exhaust (including Twin Turbo and Twin Intercooler data), fuel system with self-diagnosis, propeller shaft, rear suspension ( and ), power steering, 4-wheel steering (4WS), transaxle (manual and automatic), wheels and tires, body, SRS, heaters and A/C, and emission controls. The manual even covers the ETACS and theft-alarm system. That’s 284 pages of torque specs, clearance checks, and wiring colors that match what Chrysler stamped on the harness.

Get the Right Torque Data for Your Stealth

Do not trust a generic torque chart from the internet for the DOHC engine mounting bolts or the front axle hub nut. This manual lists the exact lubricant types, tighten sequences, and final torque values in lb-ft. The cooling section covers radiator and cooling fan specifics for SOHC and DOHC separately. Fuel system? The idle speed control (ISC) and turbo pressure control steps are laid out with the factory test procedures. Use these spec sheets and you won’t be re-doing a head gasket because a bolt was a few ft-lbs off.

Brake System: Service Brakes and ABS in One Manual

The Brakes group includes General Information, Service Brakes, and then splits into Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) for FWD and AWD — plus the parking brake. That means you get the master cylinder specs, caliper piston retraction tools required, and the ABS modulator removal steps all in one place. No hopping between different manuals. The parking brake section includes cable adjustment procedures. For related electrical diagrams, see the Mitsubishi Stealth 1994 Volume 2 Electrical Service Manual – Section: Engine, Ch. If you need deeper wiring detail for the ETACS or audio system, the 1994 Stealth Import Service Manual Volume 1 – Section: Electrical pairs well with this technical manual. For a complete set, check the 1991 Chrysler Stealth Technical Information Manual — this is that exact file.

When it comes to Manual Transmission work, the Stealth manual transaxle section covers FWD and AWD units separately. The Manual Transmission chapter gives you the internal shift fork and synchronizer specs. That part of the document alone saves you from ordering mis-sourced parts.

One paragraph over 120 words: This manual was prepared as an introduction to the specifications, features, construction, and functions of the newly developed Stealth — as the foreword on page 3 says. The service procedures were developed for professional service personnel, and achieving efficient, economical vehicle performance depends on following those procedures. The safety notice on page 2 explicitly warns about spring-loaded fasteners and E-clips. Wear safety goggles. The caution about using special tools when recommended is not a suggestion; it’s a guarantee you won’t damage the component. Chrysler Corporation did not undertake a broad service review of every conceivable repair scenario, so if you deviate from these instructions, you assume full responsibility. That’s the difference between OEM documentation and a pirated PDF: liability and accuracy.

Short paragraph under 40 words: Get the factory manual. Access it. Use it.

Can I use this manual for a 1991 Stealth?

Yes. The technical manual covers the first model year and includes all systems through the 1991 production changes. The vehicle identification section on group index pages shows VDS and VIS codes.

Does it include wiring diagrams for the entire car?

The Electrical group has general information, wiring harness routing, diagnosis systems, engine electrical, battery, lighting, meters and gauges, wiper/washer, audio, accessory slot, ETACS, and theft-alarm system. Actual wiring diagrams are in the diagnosis systems sub-section, but they are not full-color – they are factory black-and-white with connector views. You will need the separate electrical service manual for detailed connector pin numbers and splice locations if you are chasing a short in the instrument panel harness. This technical manual gives you the theory and component locations, not every splice.

Stop wasting time with aftermarket guesswork. Access the Factory Manual and get the same information Chrysler handed to their own techs. Every bolt, every sensor, every spec — it’s all in here.
