Yuri,
I hope that you are able to get that degree--you must be very smart.
You can get a Haynes Automotive Repair Manual for your specific car at
almost any auto parts store or by calling 1-805-498-6703. They also sell
them at Barnes and Nobel. If they don't have the one for your car--you can
order it.
Make sure you get the one made for your specific vehicle.
