Known issues on the 2002 P30. The federal record for this model year is clean: no recalls, no owner complaints. That leaves the manual to be judged on its procedures, which run from valve train and timing specifications through fuel delivery, cooling and charging diagnostics to clutch or automatic transmission service, propeller shaft and rear axle work, brake hydraulics, parking brake adjustment, steering gear inspection and front suspension alignment figures. Wiring diagrams cover the chassis harness as delivered, before any body was mounted.
