Where is the starter and solenoid located in a 1987 Porsche 944 NA?
Ferdinand944
Under the car, toward the driver's side (on the LHD models) mounted to the bell housing.
It bolts on with two 17mm.
Usually, one can be taken out with a ratchet and socket, but the other might need a wrench due to clearance.
The wiring is held on via lugs with 8mm, 10mm, 13mm nuts. Typically, with a Porsche, if you have 8mm, 10mm, 13mm, 17mm, and 19mm tools, you can do just about everything. I think the crank bolt is 23mm, and the air bleed for the cooling system is 12mm, so there are a few exceptions.
Replacing the starter is a sub-20 minute job - I've done it in less than 5 minutes at a track. Replacing a headlight bulb may be slightly more difficult. In other words, if you are mechanically inclined at all, do NOT pay someone to do this. If you have a hard time following the directions on the back of a frozen dinner, this might be too much for you.
Also note that the clutch slave cylinder is just above the starter, so it's not much more difficult to do. You just need a helper to pump the clutch and bleed it. If you can bleed brakes, and replace the starter, you can replace your clutch master and slave cylinders.
For major engine repairs, or timing belt replacement, a flywheel lock can be purchased for about $25 USD that will keep the engine from moving by locking into the starter teeth on the flywheel. This lock in installed by removing the starter and bolting the lock in in place of the starter.
IMPORTANT - DISCONNECT THE GROUND WIRE FROM THE BATTERY BEFORE REPLACING THE STARTER, OR REALLY ANYTHING ELECTRICAL. BUT ESPECIALLY THE STARTER. OTHERWISE SPARKS *WILL* FLY!

The solenoid is attached to the starter. The starter or pilot relay is located on the fender behind the battery. On some models (notably the 4.0L engines) there is also a solenoid located on the starter motor itself, under the vehicle. In this case, the relay on the fender serves only as a pilot.
