If you are a mechanical greenhorn, I would definitely suggest buying either a Chilton's or Hayne's manual. Chilton's are a little more wordy and have a lot of good general technical advice for the beginner. Hayne's does also, but is more concise. Both are geared toward the home DIY mechanic who lacks experience. In your case they would be fine. From years in the auto field I find them to be too verbose and unorganized, but must of all inaccurate. In many cases, they leave out procedures or sections that should be included and add ones that are unnecessary, write the wrong procedures for certain vehicles or try and make too many vehicles apply to one procedure, torque values are notoriously misprinted or left out....and the list goes on. That is why I stick with genuine factory service manuals. The only downside is the cost, but I find ways around that (ebay, local libraries). Don't get me wrong, aftermarket manuals still have their place in mechanics and occasionally I still use them, but they can't help with everything.
