For that, your best resource is right here. I don't know of any book 
that will do as well, but the Bentley is the best one out there. The 
Idiot's Guide is fun and has really good Karma, but it's more aimed 
toward Beetles, and there are lots of differences that he doesn't 
point out.

If you bring your symtpoms here, you'll get lots of suggestions and 
eventually you'll get up to speed on doing your own troubleshooting, 
which is the goal we'd all like to see you achieve.

Welcome to our world. What year is your fasty? Is it carbs or FI? If 
you care to post your location, you might find one of us close enough 
to you to be helpful in person.
