2002 Chevrolet Monte Carlo Service and Repair Manual
This factory service and repair manual for the 2002 Chevrolet Monte Carlo has four trims to keep track of on one two-door coupe body: LS, SS, the SS 35th Anniversary Edition and the SS Dale Earnhardt Signature Edition. Mechanically the range narrows to two overhead-valve V6s, the 3.8L of 231 cubic inches and the 3.4L of 207 cubic inches, both naturally aspirated on gasoline. Procedures, specifications, torque values, wiring diagrams and diagnostics are organized by system, so a job on the coupe is looked up once whichever of the four cars is on the lift.
