I have a Haynes manual and an 85 Factory Fiero Service Manual. $10 for Priority shipping. What do you want to offer me for them both.? 85 will still cover prob 95% up to 88 model.

Hello Roger: I already paid for the one I ordered maybe I can get yours later on down the Road as My Son plans on buying him another fiero soon and will need it the reason I asked was I wanted to know if they were a good manual.
Thank you very much

hi, i have both the haynes and chiltons manual's as well as the pdf service manuals etc.
i found the chiltons manual is more informative than the haynes and of better quality if you notice the haynes is smaller in thickness where as the chiltons is a lot thicker
hope this helps

The Haynes is pretty good for general stuff. If I need specifics, I usualy just search on here, fast and best of all, Free!

The book I have is a 88 Pontiac Fiero Service manual, made by GM apparently because it doesnt have Chilton or Haynes on it anywhere and its probably a good 500 pages or more, all in depth diagrams and details for all model 88s, idk where you could find one of them at I got mine with the car from previous owner

Haynes and Chilton are adequate, but the official GM/Helm Factory Service Manual is by far the best and most detailed.

I like using the online manual. Just print the part you need. If it gets greasy toss and print it again the next time it breaks

My manual is the official one printed by GM for its dealerships to use for servicing Fieros. I got it from a Pontiac Service tech when the dealer closed down last summer. Its prob 2" thick. I got it in case I ever did another kit. Its got everything from disassembling any body components to all the service engine codes and step by steps to test and correct them.
