I bought them from Trollhattan. The Engine Management does have wiring diagrams but is a very small part of the manual. There are allot of illustrations of components and instructions re their removal - from throttle body to knock sensors to secondary air injection components etc.
A large part of the manual is devoted to diagnosis. It is organized by trouble codes CEL and then gives a description of the fault symptom. i.e.

DIAGNOSTIC FAULT CODES: P0117,P0118
FAULT SYMPTOM: Check Engine lamp on, reluctant to start when engine cold.

The information that follows concerns itself with the Coolant
Temperature Sensor and the appropriate diagnostic procedure to check it which involves checking resistance and connectivity issues. There are nice illustrations that show for example where the sensor is located as well as what it looks like and how it functions. Importantly from my perspective is now knowing that the sensor is a player in cold starting issues which I can add to my knowledge from this board that has concentrated often on the FPR and the AIC. (there are codes for cold start issues related to Mass air flow sensor as well) By the way, my car now fires up quickly and starts at 1200 rpm although I guess that 1400rpm is ideal - it does not stumble anymore. Injector cleaner and perhaps better gas are the only things I can attribute the improvement to and perhaps driving it more than what it had been. There is not an index per se but you can check through the fault codes and their descriptions to find something applicable to a concern one may have. This from a real amateur but I'm beginning to think an ability to take voltage test readings is as indispensable as knowing how to use a wrench. I'll let you know if I DIY something using the manual but at the moment the car is operating fine. (knock on rocker panel)
