I have a 1984 Accord, and this book has been a vale of tears for me. Pictures and diagrams are often wrong, and the repair procedures can ruin your day. My mechanic suggested throwing it in the trash and shelling out the $90 for the factory shop manual and electric wiring reference, and I'm doing just that. The price difference is trivial compared to lost time or trips to the repair shop that Haynes will cause you.

the layout of the fuse box is completely different on my 1985 honda accord, book is very poor, still can't find the fuel pump relay

Overall this book is very superficial. If you need more indepth information-there are no cross-references. They backout of indepth information by telling the reader that the subject-at-hand exceeds the scope of the manual. No further reference is provided. Sorry so short but a more indepth reveiw is beyond the scope of my time.

I have this book for a year but it never help me at all.

This book is easy to understand and helped me save hundreds of dollars in repairs. I knew nothing of mechanics when I purchased this book. I learned as I went and found this book to be a great resource for educating the home mechanic.

Very outdated. Most of what is in this book can be found online. The pictures were mostly to close and did not help me understand the work that I was doing. I ended up going to Honda sites on the web to fill in the gaps in the book.

You are better off spending some time on the web than buying this book.

I received my Haynes Repair Manual for Honda Accord 1984 through 1989 All Models back in June. It took a little while (about 1 and 1/2 weeks) to arrive, but it got here in good condition and I feel I got it for an excellent price. I will definitely shop Amazon in the future! Thanks!

Haynes is good, but not as good as a factory workshop manual. But it costs 1/10 what a factory workshop manual costs, and you can accomplish 95% of anything you'll ever need to do with it.
