Again, get the Bentley manual. You should have seen them on Europants or Amazon might have 'em too. I'd hesitate to pay over $50-60 for one because they may be out of print, but they're also pretty plentiful.

What color is yours? Which gearbox? See my album for some photos of my Sadie.

Reading your past posts, clean the idle control valve with penetrating oil (sometimes you need to do it a few times in a row) and fix all vacuum leaks. Also clean the throttle body and (once you get your Bentley) run some basic electrical checks on the injection system.

Rough starting could be anything from a blown head gasket (pray that's not it) to a failed fuel check valve to vacuum leaks to worn out ignition components.

Other impending projects for you- get rid of the coolant bypass valve (again, see my gallery) and flush the cooling system. You'll probably have to change the ABS accumulator. As daunting as that sounds, it's surprisingly easy. After those are done (you have successfully changed your coolant and brake fluid and engine oil) work on the other fluids- transmission fluid and power steering fluid.

You'll probably spend lots of time reading the Bentley. This is a great use of time so don't worry about it.
