1987 Car & Truck Engine/Emissions Diagnosis Update--Drivability Reference Handbook

If you've got the 1987 Engine & Emissions Diagnosis Manual, you've only got half the story - this book has diagnosis instructions that mechanics found that they needed after the diagnosis manual was printed. This book has four sections to help you diagnose the electronic emission control system for your engine: driveability symptoms, oasis special service messages, technical service bulletins (TSBs), and recall information. The driveability symptoms section contains indexes to the bulletins, OASIS messages, and recall information related to the following issues: hard/no start, idles rough/rolling, acceleration hesitant/stumbling, lack/loss of power, surging, stalling, deceleration stall/trailer hitching, spark knock/shutdown (diesels), runs rough/misfire/backfire, and flooding/fuel--exhaust odor/fuel economy. You’ll find diagnostic routines that identify likely causes of these symptoms in order of probability. You then use the diagnosis flow charts in the book to 1) identify a symptom 2) run a test and then 3) choose what to do next on the chart based on the outcome of your test. Some of the tests you can easily do yourself, while others require diagnostic equipment to identify trouble codes. You will find the actual technical service bulletins with updated repair instructions, Online Automotive Service Information System Special Service Messages (OASIS SSMs), and recall bulletins neatly organized in the book. Covers all Ford, Lincoln, & Mercury Cars, and all Light, Medium, and Heavy Duty Trucks. 1500 pages, 8.5" x 11". Buy now for this handy collection of expanded service literature for your vehicle.
