Hi guys so awhile back when I first got my car I was looking for a manual and found the "1986 Fiero shop service repair manual". Now of course buying an old used one is very expensive but I managed to find one that was brand new and it was only around 50 bucks. The only issue is now that I have the money to buy it I don't remember the website. The best way to describe the website was it was basically a massive part store with hundreds of tabs that led to more tabs. I understand I could just go get it for free on a website through files but I prefer to have the book. If anybody knows the website I'm talking about I would appreciate it.

Here's a example photo from online:

Hey guys I'm very sorry. I may of accidentally found it after making this thread and I don't know how to delete it. Since I can't delete it I guess I can ask a question that's similar. Do you guys know if this website is trustworthy. If so I'll go ahead and buy it.

The Pontiac Fiero Service Manual IS the OEM factory manual - good choice!

*I suggest to you to also get Clymer / Haynes manuals, as the GM manual was written for PROs, not DIYs!

Very often, the OEM procedure won't have "step-by-step" instructions while Clymer / Haynes manuals are written for "Do it yourself"

The 1984-1988 Pontiac 'P' Parts and Illustration Catalog is very helpful, I use both.

Search the internet for both of them for the best total price...

As RockAuto - YES, I found that their parts and shipping are very good, however try local shops first.

PS - IF you order the manual(s) on RockAuto - use the 5% off code:

To use the 5% off code on your order, 'paste' the code in the RockAuto site under "How Did You Hear About Us?" box at the bottom on the cart.

Thank you. I actually do have the Haynes book as well. I was wanting to also get the service manual since the hayens doesn't have everything but is still useful

Thank you I will be buying it. Btw I actually do have the hayens book as well. It is useful but it doesn't cover everything. I have one more question. Should I buy a do it yourself. I was doing research and found out my car didn't come with one. Or should I be fine if I have the service manual just sitting in the trunk

The '86 DIY manual may help you, however I believe the Hayens manual will cover *this* items too....
