1997 Chevrolet Lumina Service and Repair Manual
This factory service and repair manual for the 1997 Chevrolet Lumina adds a third trim to the sedan, Base, LS and LTZ, while the mechanical choice stays at two engines: a 3.1-liter overhead-valve V6 of 189 cubic inches and a 3.4-liter twin-cam V6 of 207 cubic inches, each naturally aspirated and gasoline-fueled. Trim level changes equipment rather than architecture, so most of the branching a technician meets in this book is electrical, in the wiring diagrams and the component locations.

Known issues on the 1997 Lumina. Two recalls stand on the federal record. One is a steering fault: retainer tabs on the lower pinion bearing in the power rack and pinion were not crimped properly, and if the retainer fails the ball bearings escape, letting the pinion shaft ride upward under cornering loads until the wheel takes far more effort to turn than it should. The other covers replacement fuel pressure regulators built without an O-ring and retainer, where leaking fuel can ignite. Steering also leads the 371 complaints with 88, ahead of 50 on engine and cooling and 45 on the fuel system.
