How do you start a 96 crown vic with a flat head screw driver?
I'm not so sure you can do that anymore with the newer Crown Vics. It was possible with the older Crown Victorias because they utilized a remote solenoid to engage the starter - all you had to do was jump the poles on the solenoid on the front passenger fenderwell. It may be possible with the 96, if you get underneath the car and do it directly on the starter. Unless they still had the starter solenoid on the fenderwell, but I don't think they did.

How do you change a starter and solenoid on a 1989 Chevy Celebrity?
First disconnect the ground wire from the battery. Then detach the wires from the starter solenoid, taking note of where each wire was so they can be put back later. There may be a rear support bracket on the back of the starter, if yes remove it. Then remove the two bolts that hold the starter to the bottom of the block They are 15mm heads, you will need a socket and extension plus driver to remove them. Then the starter will slide towards the front of the motor and come out. As for removing the solenoid. Remove the screw that attaches a copper bus that comes out of the starter body to the solenoid. Then remove the two screws that hold the solenoid to the starter, twist the solenoid slightly and remove it from the starter. There will be a spring inside that will come off, retain it for reassembly if you need it. To put it all back together reverse the dis-assembly order.
