Looks like an incomplete random collection of service manual pages with technical service bulletins mixed in, all in random order. This is nothing like what their site advertises.

I see that key engine, transmission, brake and suspension sections are extremely incomplete or completely missing.

Very disappointing.

I will dispute this with my credit card, and I will lodge a complaint with the various authorities, and I am going to show this to my attorneys, they are going to have fun with these goons.

The manual seems to be complete and was easy to download. The pages are images, however, and not searchable.

The download I received was a complete waste of my money. Was not even close to what it was represented as. I thought I was getting a proper service repair manual. What I got was a collection of service bulletins. I sent an email to your company right after I looked through it requesting my money back. Have yet to hear a response. Terry Muich

More detailed than I thought, still trying to navigate through it, not what I thought it would be, thought it would be more like the Haynes manual.

It was much larger than i expected. 5 documents at 12k pages each. Its not something ill actually be able read but its easy enough to find what you need..
The Ford F250 manual is much easier to navigate at just over 8000 pages.
If i spend the money for Adobe Acrobat Professional ill be able to break it down into manageable bits.
Both manuals area great value for the money.

Excellent. Now I can actually start working on my cars again with confidence. YouTube videos really are inadequate.

Schematics were not high resolution making the markings and names difficult to read when zoomed in. Improvement is needed. Otherwise it is a good document.

I wasn’t sure why I needed this to be a PDF, but it was apparent once I got it. It includes what would be thousands of pages if it were in print. The links take you to wherever you need to go in the text.

I didn’t realize I would have a link in an email to click to get another email with another link to download.

This factory service and repair manual for the 1984 Ford Tempo covers two engines of very different character: a 2.0L SOHC inline-four diesel and a 2.3L OHV inline-four gasoline engine, both naturally aspirated. The two-door sedan and the four-door sedan are documented in four trims, Base, GL, GLX and LX. Diesel and gasoline cars share bodies but little under the hood, so the procedures, specifications, torque values, wiring diagrams and diagnostics are given for the diesel and the gasoline engine separately.

Engines covered

  • 2.0L inline-four (122 cu in) — SOHC, naturally aspirated, diesel
  • 2.3L inline-four (140 cu in) — OHV, naturally aspirated, gasoline

Body styles covered

  • 2-door sedan
  • 4-door sedan

Known issues on the 1984 Tempo. Seven recalls are on federal record, and three of them involve the seats and belts: the bolts holding the shoulder belt D-ring were poorly supported, the seat frame could sever a front belt in a hard impact, and a bolt joining the driver's seat back to the cushion frame can fatigue and give way. Owners have submitted 19 complaints to NHTSA, 13 of them on the electrical system, with engine and engine cooling and seat belts at two each. Seat belt anchorage torque values, seat procedures and wiring diagrams for the electrical system are in the manual.
