Ryan,

I would suggest you to get start with some books specificially written for your car made and model. When problem arrises, try to fix it yourself according to the instruction manual. Having some friends who know how to fix car is a very good way to learn. This way you can always turn to them when you need help.

As far as websites, join forums of your car, howstuffworks.com; about.com have some basic knowlege of car that you can get from.

Good luck,

Nam

Almost Service manual book or CD need some knowledge about mechanical implies. Depend on your knowledge (Basic,Moderated or expert) .Alots frustrations when attemp to work or fix the car. Basically you need to know how to regular maintenance your car like oil change....etc... This will help the car many years out of trouble. Need read some mores, here is basic how to flush your coolant system:
Flushing The Cooling System:
1. Begin with the engine cold and ignition off. Remove the radiator cap. MAKE SURE THE ENGINE IS COOL. If the radiator cap is too hot to touch, your engine is not cool enough.
2. Open the drain-plug at the bottom of the radiator and drain the coolant into a bucket. You will want to dispose of the cooling fluid as environmentally conscious as possible. So, if there are any shops or recycling places in your area that take old coolant give it to them. Make sure you keep the fluid away from animals. Don't just pour it on the ground. Animals tend to want to drink it, but it will kill them. My ex-girlfriend's dog died of this once.
3. Close the drain-plug and fill the radiator with water.
4. Start the engine and turn the heater control to hot (this will open the heater control valve). Add cooling system cleaner and idle the engine for 30 minutes (or as per the instructions on container).
5. Stop the engine and allow it to cool for five minutes. Drain the system.
6. Close the drain-plug, fill the radiator with water and let the engine idle for five minutes.
7. Repeat step No. 5. Close the drain-plug.
8. Install new 50/50 mixture of water and ethylene glycol antifreeze/coolant. Be sure you use the same coolant as was in your vehicle. Many of the coolants that are designed to last 150,000 miles will react with cheaper coolants and cause corrosion of the radiator. The best way to do this is match color. If it says "Dex-Cool" or something of that nature, definitely use a Dex-Cool variant.
Beside if you want go higher tech. Money first BABY, you need to build up your work shop something like air compressor, air tool, hand tools .......
In my experience I like to used "Snap on" not "snap off" tools. So many thing for DIY. My both hands now look like sand paper (There she said) after thousand times get hurt.
