When people on here refer to the manual they are referring to the Factory Shop Manual (FSM). These are the two thick books the dealers used. I think they have everything on computer now.
Each of these two books is about 2 inches thick and tells everything about the car. The little books you buy at your local NAPA store are not much good. I wouldn't waste my money on them.
You should be able to find a set of used FSM's for your car on the forum for $50-$75 or other places on the internet where you can buy and sell auto parts.
