Have not worked on an 88 but shold be roughly like an 84,85,86 simply diconnect the battery ( safety First) then rempove the electrical connections on the starter located on top of the transmission and to the drivers side. make a mental note or label where the wires go. remove the mounting bots/nuts, remove the old starter. install in reverse order. this is a pretty straight foreward operation and even the most challenged should be able to tackle. most of auto knowledge comes from trial annd error, just try it! you'll find its about as easy as it looks subaus arent complicated. best of luck
Change a starter on a 1988 Toyota Cressida
Remove 2 or 3 starter bolts and pull out starter, but first disconnect battery.
Solenoids are commonly mounted on the side of the starter. Many are integral to the starter and are difficult, if not impossible, to change or repair. FriPilot
It is possible that a Subaru Check Engine Code #12 is a bad starter switch. This is usually the starter relay switch malfunction code for Subaru.
It is mounted on the starter motor itself. When you get another starter, it will have the solenoid mounted on it already. If it is bad, just replace the starter, I would not change just the solenoid.
No, this is a pretty easy repair, Make sure you disconnect the battery before removing the starter.
On top towards the firewall
The starter is interchangable between all 1990-1994 Legacies and maybe even up to 1999.
Subaru Tecnica International was created in 1988.
on an ej20 and ej22 subaru engines the starter is located at the top of the engine and is held by a bolt at the top and a nut at the bottom once you have removed these the starter will slide out back towards the firewall
