3.0 out of 5 stars Not too great..., October 12, 2003

I wish I could have access to the info the 'professionals' have on the torques and specifics of my exact car. I have a '96 Accord EX and it works very well...except when I need to use this book for the VTEC 2.2...I had to dig through the book and analyze deep into a picture to pick out the 4th wire to get the firing order of my engine. It was amazing how out of every possiblity the book listed everything wrong. This book will give you some information but it's not to be totally depended upon. BE CAREFUL!

3.0 out of 5 stars Not for the novice DIY'er, July 1, 2003

This review is from: Honda Accord Automotive Repair Manual : Models Covered, All Honda Accord Models 1994 Thru 1997 (Haynes Auto Repair Manual Series) (Paperback)

I am here looking for another service repair manual as the Haynes book has failed me three times now. The illustrations are lacking and the insructions often abbreviate some steps assuming you know what to do.

It does contain a lot of information but is severly lacking on helping one to locate the components.

3.0 out of 5 stars A little of everything, November 8, 2001

This review is from: Honda Accord Automotive Repair Manual : Models Covered, All Honda Accord Models 1994 Thru 1997 (Haynes Auto Repair Manual Series) (Paperback)

This book covers complicated tasks such as engine overhauling and body repair very well. (Over all there is a need for more pictures though). But it does not cover in much detail anything beyond that, power steering pump repair for example or transaxle repair. I guess it is written for the home mechanic with limited skill or tools. It has a lot of sections on how to take parts off and put it back on but little on the details: for example electrical diagrams are not accurate as they only publish "Typical" wiring diagrams. So it is good for simple repairs only. Trouble shooting symptoms is sorely lacking. There are many sections on how to take a part off but not why or when you should take it off: for example how to trouble shoot when your injection valves need cleaning or how to determine when a pinging sound is due to the shock mount or a tie rod. Variations on the car engines were covered well from the non VTEC 2.2 L engines to the V6. This book however does not cover the 2.0L engine so some asian buyers be careful. It does not cover the transaxles much beyond taking it off and sending it for repair in an authorized shop.

In summary the book has some good and detailed sections for the the experienced mechanic like engine overhaul and some less detailed sections for the home mechanic like removing a power steering pump and brining it to an authorized repair shop. For its price I think the book is worth it. If there is something wrong with your car you have to diagnose it yourself as this book has limited diagnosis specific to the Accord. After you find out what the cause is, most likely the book will show you how to take the part off, then your are on your own.
