I have that book it came with my car from the PO. It does help in some areas but not much. Greg Nichols tip site is better than that damn book. Maybe 5-10% of the entire damn thing is usefull. It doesnt explain crap. You would have better luck just trying to fix something without instruction than with that book. But it does have a few good things in it. I am buying the workshop manuals when I have the extra money. I do not plan on selling my car anytime soon, so why not buy them? Its almost fixed. Got a damn crappy altenator... The wire off of the bolt the goes inside came off, so i have to take it off when i am not going to freeze because there is snow here. But soon i will be driving it..Oh that chilton book didnt really help on taking the altenator off either. Easir just to climb under it with out the book.
