The Hayne's manual is perfect for minor repairs and general information. It's well worth the $15 or that it costs.

The on-line manuals are adequate but keep in mind there are more than one manual. You have seperate ones for AC, Transmission, etc...

From A post by Beagle:
Quote:
Factory Service Manuals and all that….
It should be remembered when using these manuals that they were compiled and translated into many languages over 30 years ago before these cars even hit the road and they have never been updated. Misprints, misinterpretations, contradictions and ambiguities abound in the translations and they should never override informed common sense and sound engineering workshop practices. Countless TSB’s were issued over the years addressing problems and mods as they arose but the SM’s still provide a useful reference for a DIYer.
The important thing to remember is COME HERE FIRST before starting ANY project!
Don't come here after you attempt to set your injection pump timing and ask why your car won't start!
