Best Answer

As you are standing in front of the car looking down at the engine, starter is on right hand side of engine. Disconnect battery first. Disconnect wires from starter, undo starter bolts, remove starter. Starter and solenoid all come off in one piece, starter will only come off and go back on one way. Tercel starters are a gear reduction type starteer and are pretty reliable, what usually goes wrong with them is the conact points inside the solenoid, which are replaceable. Do you have a automotive electrical rebuild shop in your town? They would have parts. If you are up for the task of taking your starter apart yourself this is a easy fix. I have over 200,000 miles on our 84 tercel with only one starter fix.

How do you change a starter in a 1985 Pontiac sunbird?

Changing a starter in a 1985 Pontiac Sunbird is not very difficult. The car will first need to be jacked up. After the car is jacked up, locate the starter. The wires will need to be taken off the starter and labeled so they can be reattached to the new starter. The starter is then taken down by using a ratchet to take of the bolts. After the starter is taken off, the new one can be put on.


Where is the fuel filter located in a 1985 Toyota 4 runner?

Passanger side, above the starter. You have to remove the starter (don't detatch any wireing, just the 2 bolts). Once you have the starter out of the way, you can remove the fuel filter. Good luck, it's a PAIN!
