KillJoy Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 I am in need of a FULL COVERAGE Service Manual for a 1988 Pontiac Grand Am SE 2.3 Quad 4 Automatic. I have the Haynes, and the comparable Chilton's. Both are VERY broad and leave a LOT to be desired. Does anyone have the specific make/model manual, or are able to lead me in the right direction to locate one? KillJoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clifford Automotive Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 Not sure what your trying to accomplish but I did a shit ton of work to one of those cars. If your having a problem throw it out and I could probably help you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave1647545494 Posted September 5, 2008 Report Share Posted September 5, 2008 if you can't figure out how to take off the belt you might want to put down the tools and step away from the vehicle already been said most likely siezed cut old belt off replace tensioner and belt those old quad 4's aren't so bad just kinda tight in a couple spots to get to stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
