1.0 out of 5 stars Don't waste your money., November 14, 2001

By A Customer

I have never before seen such a worthless repair manual. It has cost me valuable time on more than one occassion when I have attempted to find parts that didn't exist or were in the wrong location. The authors apparenlty never checked to see the differences in corollas between 88 and 97. I promise you that if you own a 93 corolla (as I do) this manual will provide you with more frustration than guidance.

3.0 out of 5 stars Helpful for the price, April 2, 2003

By	Ed L. (PHILADELPHIA, PA United States) - See all my reviews

I own both the Haynes and the Chilton books. I need one to fill in the blanks left by the other. If I had to use just one, it would probably be the Haynes. The Chilton would still be fine for most shadetree work. Neither have complete or even adequate wiring diagrams or in-depth info for transmissions,A/C,or troubleshooting. Haynes has the best photos and Chilton has an excellent write-up on vehicle emissions.

1.0 out of 5 stars Worthless manual, July 30, 2003

By	D. Reichert "Slough Gundy" (Rochester, Minnesota USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

How do I dislike thee? Let me count the ways ...
- Which picture is it that relates to the instruction I just read?
- And in that murky photo, which one of the shadowy images is the part taht I need to replace or adjust?
- Some parts just aren't acknowledged to exist (Try to find any mention of the throttle presure cable for an '88 auto trans. Then try to find any mention of how it should be adjusted.)
- Some repairs reference two systems (If you need to repair the AAP; is that the diaphragm with spring accessed from the outside of the carburetor, or is it the ball/spring/ball found in the carb's innards? They're both labeled AAP.)

Don't waste your money.
