1989 Chevrolet Sprint Service and Repair Manual

This factory service and repair manual for the 1989 Chevrolet Sprint pairs a single Base grade with a two-engine range, which is an unusual combination. The 1.0L SOHC inline-three of 61 cubic inches appears both turbocharged and naturally aspirated, on gasoline either way, under four-door and two-door hatchback bodywork. Engine coverage therefore carries two sets of numbers where the rest of the car carries one, and the manual keeps them labeled, with compression and boost figures, fuel and ignition calibration, and cooling and lubrication requirements each stated for the engine they belong to.

Known issues on the 1989 Sprint. Nothing sits on the federal record for this year, neither recalls nor owner complaints, so the manual's value is in routine and repair rather than in chasing a known fault. It covers engine mechanical work down to bearing clearances and valve specifications, fuel and ignition testing, turbocharger service where the engine has one, transaxle and clutch overhaul, suspension and steering alignment figures, brake hydraulic bleeding and friction limits, and the body and electrical procedures needed to put the car back together to the same tolerances it left with.
