I purchased this book to work on my 1990 4runner and it is worthless. The diagrams show very little if any detail. DO NOT PURCHASE.

I bought this book specifically because it advertised electrical wiring diagrams and schematics. The diagrams it contains are virtually worthless. Examples: does not mention headlights except how to change the lamp, does not acknowledge the instrument lighting at all. If you need to troubleshoot your electrical system, DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK!

I too feel fleeced by the promises made by this book. There amount of specific, useful information, if any, contained in this book totals perhaps _2_ pages. Don't be fooled like I was. Calling this book a repair manual, imho, is misrepresentation.

I have Toyota 4Runner. I had some problems and I would like to understand them. I purchased the book to help me to understand the operation and cause of problemes. If some one needs some lists of disassembly and assembly steps without requiring explanation drawings maybe he would find this book helpful. However, I am not satisfied with the drawings. There is very little about transmission. There is no diagnostic codes for transmission. The book does not have good sistematic structure.

I prefer those really heavy manuals that has everything from a-z on the viehical, but this manual will do in a pinch. It has all the basic stuff that someone with minimal tools and experiance needs.Here is a hint that the book does not directly tell you. Get a wiring disgram and if any of the under hood info has faded on your viehical replace it.

I bought this book for maintenance on a 1994 Toyota Pick-up. Not very helpful because the information and drawings I needed were inaccurate. I bought a Haynes Manual and found it to be much more reliable.

THE INFORMATION IN THIS BOOK IS VERY HELPFUL TO MANY PEOPLE WHO OWN A TOYOTA. THIS BOOK IS THE "TOTAL CAR CARE" THAT MEANS YOU GET IT ALL IN ONE BOOK! GOOD AND UNDERSTANDABEL INFORMATION WITH GOOD PICTURES.
