You can do way better than the Chilton manual. I can share the 1996-1998 Civic factoy manual (1500 pages) witn you. It is a big file, but if you PM me with a gmail account or something, I'll try to email it to you. Among other things, it has useful trouble shooting flow charts and such.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
