1988 Chevrolet Sprint Service and Repair Manual
This factory service and repair manual for the 1988 Chevrolet Sprint reaches across four grades, Base, ER, Metro and Turbo, and the differences between them run deeper than badges, because the range includes both a turbocharged 1.0L SOHC inline-three of 61 cubic inches and a naturally aspirated version of the same engine. Two-door and four-door hatchback bodies are covered. Wiring, plumbing and hardware diverge with the engine, and the coverage is arranged so a technician can follow one specification path without pulling in numbers meant for the other.

Known issues on the 1988 Sprint. Four owner complaints appear for this year, spread one apiece across visibility, the electrical system and vehicle speed control, with no single area drawing a crowd. Scattered reporting like that suits a manual more than a bulletin. Wiper and washer service, lighting aim and glass work sit in the body sections; circuit protection, grounds, switches and harness routing sit in the electrical sections with full diagrams; and throttle linkage, cable adjustment and speed control operation are covered with their own inspection steps, tolerances and specifications.
THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DESIGNED WITH A PASSENGER SIDE VIEW MIRROR, THE CONSUMER BELIEVES THIS IS UNSAFE BECAUSE IT DOES NOT PROVIDE ANY VISUAL ASSISTANCE WITH RIGHT LANE TRAFFIC, CONS
