nothing is better than the factory manual, like subford and i are suggesting you get.
especially for your 96 which is different than earlier years being obd II for one thing.
at the very least get vol. a and b.
look on ebay.

sounds like the factory manual is expensive$$$
assuming I had the money, where should I go to get a factory manual?

As quicklook2 said, try ebay. Vol. H is also helpful if you have sensors to troubleshoot. Make sure they are all for 1996.
There were a lot of changes in 1997 and 1996 was the first year with obd II so you are locked in for 1996 manuals.

I checked out eBay and I can get a CD version of the manual for pretty cheap. I like the idea of being able to print out only what I need, as often as I like. Anybody out there have one of these CD's, and do you like it?
