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 Ford Probe documents three engines in the two-door hatchback across the GL, GT and LX trims: the turbocharged and the naturally aspirated versions of the 2.2L SOHC inline-four, each of 133 cubic inches, and the naturally aspirated 3.0L OHV V6 of 182 cubic inches, all gasoline. A four-cylinder with and without a turbocharger and an overhead-valve V6 make three distinct engine sections, and the procedures, specifications, torque values, wiring diagrams and diagnostics follow that split before covering the hatchback body and chassis that the three trims share.

Engines covered

  • 2.2L inline-four (133 cu in) — SOHC, turbocharged, gasoline
  • 2.2L inline-four (133 cu in) — SOHC, naturally aspirated, gasoline
  • 3.0L V6 (182 cu in) — OHV, naturally aspirated, gasoline

  • 2-door hatchback

Known issues on the 1990 Probe. Four recalls are on federal record for the 1990 Probe. Two cover the automatic shoulder belts, whose rail can wear until the cable that retracts the buckle jams and the belt stops working, on the driver and passenger sides; another covers throttle levers bent during assembly that may stick and not return to idle. Owners have registered 355 complaints with NHTSA, and 287 of them concern seat belts, with the electrical system and engine cooling at ten apiece. The manual's seat belt procedures, throttle linkage specifications and electrical wiring diagrams cover exactly those systems.
