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. > (please do NOT tell me i should not be working on a car if i cannot > understand the fsm or similar > any suggestions (relating to a book) would be very much appreciated > thanks in advance!
