1982 Chevrolet Citation Service and Repair Manual

This factory service and repair manual for the 1982 Chevrolet Citation is written around a two-engine lineup that splits the car in half: an overhead-valve 2.8L V6 of 173 cubic inches and an overhead-valve 2.5L inline-four of 151, both naturally aspirated and both burning gasoline. Three shapes carried them, a two-door coupe and hatchbacks in four-door and two-door form, sold as Base or X-11. Engine work therefore branches early in the book, while the chassis and body sections run common to all three shells.

Known issues on the 1982 Citation. Both engines get their own procedures, specifications, torque values and diagnostic routines, and the fuel, ignition, cooling and emissions material is given per displacement rather than generalized. Beyond the engine bay the book documents the transaxle, brakes, steering and suspension, with wiring diagrams for the body circuits shared by the coupe and both hatchbacks.
