AMEN!! to that brother. Ive fixed many a crazy electrical problem with those 2. Those are like the bible of automotive industry. I dont where Id be without them, they make insane problems so much easier.

 

is there anywhere i can get them from? hanes manual seems to breif on most of the stuff... i was going to buy a book specific towards camaro's but never found such luck.. any info will help.. thanks again

Douglas

 

they're both computer programs so you'd have to buy it direct from the company. which i can imagine would be a little expensive. we have it on all the comps in the shop so if anyone needs anything off of them just let me know and i can look it up for ya.

 

Beware of PC repair books, I bought Popular Mechanics on CD for my vehicle and it wasn't complete. I had to make additional payments to unlock the sections I really needed!
I ordered a Chilton on E-Bay for "just my 3rd Gen" for $15, it's about 3" thick and has almost everything you could want. I also bought a Haynes there for $8.

 

i need to get me that book.. ive only had u guys when i need advice.. i dont even tryt o look at this book anymore.. its more for like a generalization of what is happenin' and what is going on. i need more in depth information on each matter.. becuase i like to read about it.. then i know what is going on and then going out and diagnosing the problem then...


thanks again boys

Standing in front of the car looking at the engine it's on the left side (cyls.2,4,6,8.)back two. You will have to get at it from under the car.

 

perfect.. all done.. i did get it from top of car thanks so much guys

Now that is talent. I definately had to get at it from the bottom. And I rounded off the edges so I couldn't even get it out. Just turned on the AC when I needed to turn the fans on. And I forgot to several times.

Later on, I just decided to replace the whole engine.

 

see if you can hotwire the fan from the batt. just hit the wires to see if it runs. also check your fan relays. make sure you dont have your knock sensor and fan switch plugs crossed as they are the same style plugs.
as for service manuals, get a helm manual. this is the book the serv dept at dealerships use. they can be had on ebay and mine has saved me lots of cash.
its written for GM by helm to GM specks. it also tells what GM tools are needed with part numbers for these tools. hayes manuals are about an inch thick and covers roughly 5 years of a vehicle, a helm is 3 in thick and covers THAT YEAR ONLY. its worth the cash spent.

 

yea i had to get mine from the bottom 2...the Jet fan switch was a standard thread so it took a while to get in there, plus the stupid dipstick line was wayyy in my way the whole time but my car runs around 185-195 degrees, definitly worth it

 

cool cool.. thanks alot guys.. i havent had alot of time to test it so i will do so shortly.. app all the help!!!!
