Chilton's Nissan Maxima 1993-98 Repair Ma
Chilton's drawings are obscure, info is incomplete, and their approach presumes you are a professional mechanic.Haynes repair guide is a bit cheaper and much better for the moderate to accomplished do-it-yourselfer.

Repair Disappointment
This manual is probably suited for more advanced do-it-yourself repair individuals.Step-by-step instructions are vague and confusing.Iidentified an error (PCV valve location on '95-98 engines) on my firstreview which threw me off totally.I'm sure there are plenty of othererrors.I'm not thrilled at all of the blow-up drawings.I just don'ttrust the book period!

Very good resource
This book is equally helpful as the rest of the Chilton's series.Great resource for the quick fix or total overall.Highly recommended. ... Read more

A little short of expecations
I'm one chapter away from finishing the classroom manual.I expected that the author would do an excellent job on the complicated topic of diesel engines, but fell short of my expectations.In all fairness, the author did an adequate job overall.He starts out with a bang in the second chapter explaining the different horsepower ratings such as HP, BHP, FHP and IHP.After that terrific start, the succeding chapters got a little less in-depth.I do like the fact that the subject matter is divided into two topics- theory and application.The classroom manual covers the theory and the shop manual covers the practical, "hands-on", side of being a diesel technician.Delmar does this with all of their Today's Technician series of books.If you are interested in a thorough approach with much better diagrams and pictures then "Diesel Technology" by Norman, Corinchock, and Scharff is the book to get.

Lost a star for typos and noncontinuity, otherwise great.
I bought and read this book(it's actually two books, the shop manual is spiral bound, the class text is glue bound) in anticipation of buying my first truck. I'm not a tech so take my review with a grain of salt. The theory and general information seem adequate. There are a lot of detailed descriptions of repairs that are probably best left to OEM specific instructions. The end of the book was the most pertinent for me. It describes diagnostic tools and signs of trouble like smoke. I would have prefered more detail on the more/most common failures/problems encountered in used engines and how to detect them, though there was a fair amount of that.Read more

Excellent technical manual
This has tons of great information about the repair and maintenance, though the pictures are dated and not all close enough to see the details of what is being illustrated.I would recommend this for the weekend hobby person to skilled mechanic to assist in any work on this model of outboard.

not good for beginners
I found the text to be very unclear for inexperienved mechanics.The instructions say things like "remove the middle and outer cowlings"without explaining what the cowlings are.The picture associated with the instruction step then just shows a picture of the motor without identifying the part in question.
Too broad
Overall not a bad book, found it to be very general in a few key area; this would be due to such a large range of models covered.Next time I may look at the OEM manual; for a comparission. ... Read more

Good reference book for "handymen".
I consider that this it's a good book. This book describes detailed the procedures of repair for Toyota RAV4. It seems to me excellent to mention the amount of photographies that allow to see with clarity where each screw is located.

yea, electrical info it's in there...
tell you what if you wanna learn about electricity not just automotive but electricity in general this is your book. It helps to lay a great foundation. I already knew this stuff but it was a great refresher, as well as a excellent info source for automotive applications. I truely feel this was money well spent.

Dont hurry
I read this book about 10 times and threw it at the wall WHAT an incredibly stupid book. NO IT isnt I was though and all you need to know is there ITS actually a great book to learn with BUT it doesnt point out the key points to grasp very well BUT trust me its there you just need to pay attention to what mr horner is saying. If you pay attention and arent expecting some kind of miracle surge of electrical knowledge into your brain then this book will teach you how to wire a car from tip to tail. After my impatient little brain paid attention to mr horner I found that I understood electrical systems far better than most people and I could wire any brand of car because the basics are all the same from vw to lexus. THIS book is worth its price
Don't buy it.
Unless you already know how to wire a car and have a thorough knowledge of electricity and electrical fundamentals this book will be absolutely worthless.It will show you how to solder in case you don't already know how to.Don't waste the electricity necessary to order it. ... Read more

Perfect for the do-it-yourself mechanic!
I used this book to dismantle and reassmble the heads from my 1988 S-10 Blazer.This was my first time ever doing anything more than a basic oil change (the book is good for that too).Want to learn about your vehicle? Buy a Chilton manual. ... Read more

I would agree with what has been stated...
This book is about as cool as the other side of the pillow! Un m�canicien qui veut apprendre l'�lectronic.
C'est un bon livre mais seulement pour ceux qui ne connaissent rien de l'�lectronique de base.Il comporte les notions de base de l'�lectronique comme, la loi d'ohm, CC, Ca, resistor serie, parall�le, relay, diode etc d�dier � l'automobile.Les illustrations son bonnes.C'est une livre d'apprentissage.Beaucoup de questions et r�ponses.Ce livre ne parle pas beaucoup d'injection.Il est en noire et blanc. Can't Be Beat!

A reference for those with weak math skills.
While this book does appear to have a good coverage of topics, there is little to be found here that wouldn't be considered trivial by anyone who has completed a math course at the junior high level.

Simple, too simple
If your looking for something beyond gradeschool math (read:algebra/geometry)then I wouldn't recommend this book. The formulas would be usefull in modifying from an already set or measured value (tire size,mph,mpg) but would not be usefull when trying to design, analyze or mathmaticaly model anything. Use of English units nice for laymen.
Basic formulas for novice enthusiasts
This book is not for experts. It lack in-depth attitude. Rather, this book turned to be novice oriented. Formulas are basic and there are no graphs. I liked detailed conversion table to metric units. ... Read more
