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!

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.

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.

This book is a must have for the DIY. Almost all areas are covered, from body work to electronic, engine, central console, etc. I don't have the original service manual, which cost over $60, but I think this book is already good enough for most of the tasks.

However, some photos are not very clear and some diagrams do not clearly identify which part of the engine it is drawing, and you will have to find it by yourself.

it took a while to get the manuel but it was worth it.it was as advertised and arrived in good shape.thank you

I am so glad that we finally decided to get this manual for our car. When something goes wrong we no longer have to spend hours online trying to figure out what the problem might be and how or if we could fix it ourselves. It takes a lot of stress and worry out of car repairs because we have the instructions and pictures showing us how to do many of the repairs ourselves and if we can't do them ourselves then we are more informed when taking our car in for repairs. It brings a sense of security when dealing with mechanics.

I was having a problem with my air bag going off. Ah a car bumper backed into me????well my point of view.
I went to a dealership and was floored at what the cost would be installed. I decided to go to a parts yard and see if I could get an airbag for my Honda. I found one but wasn't sure the procedure to install it. I went to Amazon and found the manual for my car. Step by step I installed the air bag. I saved hundreds of dollars. Up here you have to pass a safty inspection..I did it was installed properly.
The manual was shipped in a plastic bag insided a shipping package. It arrived on the date that was stated. I also received, via e-mail, the shipping number when it was shipped.
I am extremely pleased with the service and quality of shipping.

I got this book for muy 1994 Honda Accod Dx. I was very impressed on hw they went through the entire car from the front to the back. i liked how it showed you almost where every screw and bolt was located. but i also think that they could have been in a color coded way. also i wish they had actual pictures instead of drawings. that is just me, it helped me out to fix my problem so that is why im giving it a four.

This is one of the best books for all of you do it yourselfers. Save yourself a lot of TIME and MONEY with this book. When i bought this book it saved me at least so far about 20 hours worth of looking around for the wrong thing! You can save yourself money by not having to take your car to a mechanic to get the simple stuff done. Defintly buy this book!

This book does what all others in it's family have done for years, work. (just don't pay attention to labor times)
