The FSM is invaluable and will be a huge help. But if you're trying to identify parts and figure out what they do, you'll also need a Haynes manual which often has more basic, step-by-step explanations for an RX-7 beginner. The FSM assumes you already have a basic level of knowledge.

 

The FSM is the best overall manual, but the Haynes manual has pictures for those of us who are not mechanics and would have trouble finding the parts mentioned in the FSM. I recommend both manuals, especially the loose-leaf FSM & wiring diagram (about $150 total) for those who work on the car a lot.

 

The Factory Service Manual can be found in the FAQ For FC thread. It contains all this information and more, and is an essential tool for any sort of service work that needs to be performed on these cars.

Additionally, the Haynes service manual for the 1986 thru 1991 RX-7 (both turbo and NA) can be found at most local auto parts stores or purchased from any good bookstore (ISBN number 1 56392 007 7). It is only about $25 and is a great quick reference for things like this. Not only does it contain most of the information in the FSM condensed into an easy to read format, but it includes full wiring diagrams as well.

These manuals will answer 99% of service related questions for the car and if you intend to do your own repair work, you will need at least one of them. Preferably both, since the FSM is a free download.
