Haynes manual sucks *****.
Download the FSM (factory service manual.) For free.
If your 7 is 86-88, you want:
http://www.teamfc3s.org/main/factory...ual/1986_1988/
If it's 89-91, you want:
http://www.teamfc3s.org/main/factory...ual/1989_1991/
In the future, when you post a question, be sure to mention the year of your car, and if it is turbocharged or not - it helps the people who try to answer your questions.

considering almost all the illustrations in the haynes manual are straight out of the FSM, and 99% of the troubleshooting checks, you can only flame the haynes if you don't even have the technical aptitude to understand the english language j/k. BTW, do you really need a step-by-step to drain & flush a cooling system???

The photos in the Haynes manual are far superior to most of the diagrams in the FSM. The FSM has much more technical info, but the Haynes has much more info on how to actually do the work required. Both manuals should be used, and neither one is a replacement for the other.
And how often do you see people post about cooling problems caused by air in the system from not following the correct procedure for flushing the cooling system? All the time...

Haynes is like $20 and the FSM is free. Can't really go wrong with that price. Haynes does have better pics, but FSM has more info. The two together are a perfect balance.
