For $12, it's good to have on hand. Not great for details, but for ordinary stuff it's OK.

Haynes is good $15 worth of bathroom reading. I have owned at least a dozen of the haynes books(various cars/makes) and am happy with their content, pictures, torque specs, basic mechanics.......

You could also download the FSM from

Unless you have a 91 convertible -- then there is nothing that is extremely helpful! :-(
Okay, so the FSM and Haynes are helpful, but there are enough differences (esp. in the wiring) that it leaves a little to be desired.

Speaking of which, anyone have the actual 91 FSM? The 89 that everyone has online is great, but as I said above, there are a few differences.

I would agree with getting the Haynes AND downloading the FSM.

Jerry, yes, I'm really needing more detailed wiring diagrams than what is offered in the 89 manual. Specifically the fuse box is different (ie air bag). But just knowing now that you have one, I might just have to keep your name in my buddy list so's I can ask questions later!

thanks!!
