I bought this book right after I bought my '91 626. The book was great until I needed to do some troubleshooting with it. The time I wasted trying to follow this book full of incomplete, misleading information wasn't worth spending. I should have taken it to a mechanic who had the real information. Nowhere in the book is there any mention of a throttle position sensor. DON'T BUY IT.

I previously owned a 1987 626 GT, which was meticulously maintained and am currently driving a relatively pristine specimen of a 1989 MX-6 GT. Based upon my experience with and knowledge of each of these vehicles, this publication can help no one who owns a post-1988 626/MX-6. In 1989 the 626 coupe was completely redesigned into the 1st generation MX-6 with minimal parts interchange... A fact that appears to have completely escaped the author(s). If you like reading about the inner workings of a vehicle you don't own, then buy this book. The 1983 thru 1988 info. may be accurate. However, 1989 should have been left out because the information provided is completely unapplicable to the car. I wasted money and hours of frustration. I refuse to consider the purchase of another these publication.

I own a Mazda. I bought the book to do a head gasket job. The tear down instructions are not reliable. For example, there should be some instructions on removing the fuel injector before you remove the intake manifold. You have to remove the injector before you can remove the intake manifold. It also says to remove the carboretor. My 626 is a 90. There is no carberetor. I think the people should lift up a hood occasionally to get the imformation right. I have the right book, based on the title (83-91). I'm out 14.00 and no help.

i is a mcanic is not good at ficsin stuf. Waste of Money!!! This book is useless at best, Try using the schematics in the back. My 1990 626 must be an orphan, or a pontiac in drag. If they didn't shrink wrap it i would have taken it back. Too basic for a mechanic & too inaccurate for a novice.

I own a '91 Mazda MX-6 and bought this book to help with the minor repairs it needed, the electrical diagrams in this book are not even compairable to the wiring in the vehicle as well as the fact that the rest of the data is incorrect, I wish I'd bought a better looking paper weight.
