I took my 1996 Toyota T100 in to the local dealership to get some recall work done. While there, I also had them check out why my "check engine" light has been on for a while. It turns out I need new spark plugs, wires, and O2 sensor, plus a bunch of other stuff, totalling to around $1500 worth. Since I don't have that kind of money right now, I decided to wait on the repairs. However, I think maybe I could at least change the spark plugs, wires, and O2 sensor myself, which was about $500 of the price quoted (which seems quite high to me). I'm not very experienced with cars/trucks, but I used to watch my dad as a kid.
Anyway, I thought if I bought a repair manual I'd at least be able to get a good idea of what I might be able to fix myself. I see that there are two different repair manuals available - one from Chilton and one from Haynes. Which one is best? How are they different (besides being from different publishers, of course)?
Thanks, Trevor
