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 1990 Chevrolet Cavalier has three engines to keep apart, all naturally aspirated and all on gasoline: a 3.1L overhead-valve V6 of 189 cubic inches, a 2.2L overhead-valve inline-four of 134 cubic inches and a 2.8L overhead-valve V6 of 173 cubic inches. They were fitted to a sedan, a coupe and a wagon across Base, RS, VL and Z24. Displacement decides a great deal in this book, since fuel delivery, ignition timing, cooling capacity and torque figures are each listed by engine.

Engines covered

  • 3.1L V6 (189 cu in) — OHV, naturally aspirated, gasoline
  • 2.2L inline-four (134 cu in) — OHV, naturally aspirated, gasoline
  • 2.8L V6 (173 cu in) — OHV, naturally aspirated, gasoline

Body styles covered

  • 4-door sedan
  • 2-door coupe
  • 4-door wagon

Known issues on the 1990 Cavalier. One recall is on the federal record, covering a replacement fuel filter that can seal inadequately where it joins the line, letting gasoline escape and, with an ignition source present, catch fire. Owner complaints run to 63 and lean heavily toward the electrical system with 21, then visibility with nine and engine cooling with six. That is the shape of the work on a car of this age, and the wiring diagrams, circuit diagnostics, wiper and glass procedures and cooling system specifications in this manual address those areas directly.
