1.0 out of 5 stars This book isn't any better than any of the rest, November 2, 1999
By A Customer
I bought this book because I have been working on swapping motors and wiring harnesses on a Chev Celebrity('88) and a pontiac 6000('85). I needed the diagram for the multi-port fuel injection for the celebrity and all I can find in this book is '86 and earlier multi-port fuel injection diagram. If you are going to publish a book claiming to be from '82 - '96 shouldn't you include all diagrams and documents for those years and makes? I think so. This isn't the only situation with this book like this. I have encountered others. This one is just the most recent.

1.0 out of 5 stars Doing too much with far too little., May 14, 2001
Poor automotive repair writing is common. This state of affairs can be tolerated when the information claimed in the title is supplied in the text.

This Haynes manual provides insufficient information for any particular model or year to allow even a fairly experienced auto repair amateur to do much more than trace out problems blindly. Even the wiring diagrams that describe a particular model and range of years give schematics only of "typical" systems with insulation colors and the features actually present on any given system left undefined.

In addition, they provide precious few photographs and diagrams of the locations and configurations of various components such as pumps, compressors, and other parts that may vary significantly from one vehicle to another.

The final insult is the tendency to describe a number of systems and problems as being too complex or specialized for the owner of the manual, therefore omitting them from the text, suggesting instead that the reader consult with the appropriate repair shop.

This is even worse than my old AMC repair manuals, not good company for a mainstream publisher.

1.0 out of 5 stars Too Compressed, Too General, Too Ambiguous, November 13, 2001
By JackCannon (Georgia, USA) - See all my reviews
What happenned?

I have an '83 Celebrity, and had, in the past, purchased one Haynes manual for it (then, only shared info on the Celebrity, and it's identical Pontiac twin, the 6000) and one Chilton's Manual. BOTH of which I remember being quite helpful.

Unfortunately though, I seem to have lost them while moving, and had to invest in a replacement. Now I can't believe what I'm seeing between these covers.

Now for the record, I've always leaned towards Haynes to be more helpful and less simplistic in their technical approach. But in an effort to reduce the amount of product offerings (I'm guessing this as why) they have consolidated this and several other manuals to one single manual of normal thickness... having lost LOTS of weight in the details department.

There are entire engine configurations eliminated here... one can barely find MENTION of the 2.5 liter 4cyl... as much a staple of the Celeb as the 2.8 V6.

This "revision" STINKS.

I recommend any alternative.
