2.0 out of 5 stars Needs more detail, November 7, 1999

By	"imcjim" (McDavid, FL USA) - See all my reviews

I find the manual does not have enough detail about key user components. The only thing I wanted to find was how the heater control valve was actuated. The valve was shown and the a\c control panel was shown but the actual linking from the valve to the panel was omitted. The author needs to do more research on user controls such as this. After all this is supposed to be a "TOTAL" repair manual.

1.0 out of 5 stars This book is almost worthless, March 2, 2001

By	"harrellsm" (Mililani, HI USA) - See all my reviews

All I wanted was a book that had the codes for the electronic control unit (ECU). This book lists some of the codes but wouldn't you know my ECU is flashing 3 different codes and none of them are listed. A total waste of money.

4.0 out of 5 stars Different Tools For Different Jobs, January 8, 2002

By	"dehdhehd" (Tarzana, CA. USA) - See all my reviews

For general information on the repair and maintanence of the 240SX, this book is well worth the money. It has plenty of diagrams and words to help the beginner/novice mechanic.

One could tackle just about any job with this in hand. Where it lacks is in being able to provide technical data and diagnostics of the integrated systems of the car.

If you're looking for diagnostics of the engine management system (ie. the ECU), a Factory Service Manual will be best. This book doesn't really handle that well.
