The starter is very difficult to get to, is very heavy and unless you are used to working on cars, take it to a dealer. But if you want to have a look, it is situated at the bottom right hand side (or left hand side if you stand in front of the engine facing the car) of the engine and the only way to reach it is by laying underneath the car. Taking it out is probably one of the most difficult projects on this car.
Mounted to the top of the starter
Replace the starter
Check the battery. I have a 1991 that sat in a storage unit for two years. Dead battery. Bought a new battery and she fired right up!
I had the same problem on my 1988 and would have to leave it on. On that motor, there is a heat shield that surrounds the starter and if it is not there, when the motor heats up it will transfer that heat to the starter simulating a bad battery/starter problem. Once it cools down it starts fine. Start looking from there or get a remote starter (like I did) so you can leave it running when you run into somewhere fast.

On the right side, one of the most difficult parts to remove, the top bolt requires special tools
