I found these recently and thought I'd share. These appear to be a set of Honda training modules written by an author and automotive instructor named Grant Swaim. The website listed in these docs is now defunct, and the docs are copyrighted in 2000, but I think most (if not all) of this information is still very relevant.
This information can be found buried in your service manual, but instead of being buried, each of these module focuses on particular subsystems and makes learning about them much easier than digging through 1,000 pages.
I'm interested in learning about the GL platform and get to a point where I can datalog the engine control parameters. I hope others who are interested in the same will gain something, as I have, from reading these.
Enjoy!
