What is a good diagnostic manual to own?
This is a duplicate of my post on Pelican BBS. I already have the Bentley book, and the factory 911 Turbo supplement, but not the full set for the Carrera. Also 101 Projects and 911 Performance Handbook, etc. These books definitely help for disassembly and assembly, but what about diagnosing problems? I have yet to come across anything that would be helpful-especially with p-cars. I am not looking to be a professional mechanic here, but a good reference manual would probably be worth its weight in gold. Other than asking for help on this board, I would love to read further. Any suggestions?

Mike,
It sounds like you have a pretty good base of material. I would add a fuel injection book, and would recommend the book by Charles Probst "How to Understand, Service, and Modify Bosch Fuel Injection and Engine Management". Good theory and good debugging sections. That book is more technical than "How to Tune and Modify Bosch Fuel Injection" by Ben Watson, however, Watson's book covers some points differently, and is of value when in the depths of debugging mode.
