Service manuel?

[vinny]

I need one. Are there different ones? My motor is a 92.

Thanks

There is lots of different ones, but the engine information will be SIMILAR.

Check on EBAY for the GM service manuals. I prefer to get the books themselves, and not the CD's.

I bought a 1993 book for my Cutlass Supreme for only $12.00. I bought a 1999 Grand Am set for only $30 (3 books), I bought a 1997 Aurora set (2 books) for only $28.

There is a 3 book set for the Gran prix on Ebay. Would this cover the rebuild of a DOHC? This a factory set of manuals.

[vinny]

What about that book How to rebuild your 60degree v6 book? Is it worth getting?

If it were up to Taylor and I, we'd have the biggest 1985+ GM shop manual collection in existence...lol

jay, you are SO RIGHT.

For the grand prix books, it depends on the YEAR. A 1997+ grand prix book will not cover the 3.1 DOHC. Neither will any book before 1991.

There is 3 different versions of the 3.4 DOHC, so which one are you working with? There is the 1991-1993 OBD1 MPFI version, the 1994-1995 OBD1.5 SFI version, and the 1996-1997 OBD2 SFI version (1997 in the Lumina/Monte Carlo only).

Which engine are you working with?

I was told it is a 92' but how can I tell the differance? The manual I found on Ebay is for a 92'. I just purchased a engine manual of Ebay earlyier tonight. It was cheap so I said what the hell. The manual I am getting is just for the Twin Duel Cam engine and its 47 pages. Do you know the book I'm talking about?

I don't know which one. I just get the normal full car line books, and I only get the supplements when I have a reason too. For example, when I got my 1990 Grand Prix STE, I also got the STE supplement for it.

easiest way to tell is look at the EGR or throttle body, and the front cam carrier cover.

If it has a removable throttle body, or the LINEAR EGR, then it is the 1996-1997.

Next, look at the FRONT CAM COVER. Look at the area to the right (away from the belts). If there is a sensor in the top right next to the cover, then it is a 1994-1995. If there is NO sensor, then it is the earlier one.

Here is a pic of the cam position sensor on my 1995 Cutlass Supreme. This engine is a 1994 that I swapped in. My original 1995 blew up. The only difference between the 1994 and the 1995 that I can find is the 1994 does not have the oil level sensor on the oil pan.

And this is what a 91-93 DOHC looks like:

[vinny]

I don't think mine has that sensor. He said it was a 92'. So I guess thats pretty close.

The one I posted just happens to be my 92 :P
