Thing is, the Haynes or Chilton book *won't* do that. What is it that
you're having trouble understanding? Perhaps a basic automotive theory and
nomenclature book would do the job...

To elaborate a little on my earlier comment -- one of the many reasons
you don't want Haynes is that the way they "simplify" is by leaving
out steps.

Asking questions is probably the best bet.

hi and thanks for answering!
basically i have S.T.U.P.I.D. questions (for ex: what tools i would need) this is
in the haynes manual for my other car --
i would NOT follow haynes / chiltons for procedures if they were outlined in the
fsm.

do you know of any basic automotive theory / nomenclature books (more technical
than for ex: "the complete idiot's guide to auto mechanics")?
thanks
sincerely
Tanya

i would not rely only on the simpler books but use it / them as a guideline and
follow the fsm etc.

my questions are stupid... how to access certain parts (what parts i need to
remove).
what type of tools are needed for replacing spark-plugs (for that vehicle) etc.
the tool issue is the primary question for now. my haynes manual for my other car
lists what i would need <clearly> i imagine it is accurate wrt the list of tools
-- i should hope -- maybe not?
thanks!
sincerely
Tanya
