Starters and Ignition Systems

remove lower covers under steering wheel, two screws are hidden behind heating and ac trim panel. remove the bolts to the bracket holding the steering column up. lower the steering column. the switch is located on the steering shaft underneath the dashboard instrument cluster.

Remove the starter assembly from the engine compartment. To do this you disconect the neg battery cable.Remove air intake duct and the air cleaner housing assembly from the engine compartment. Disconnect the battery cable and the solenoid terminal from the starter solenoid and remove the mounting bolts. - Remove the electrical connector from the solenoid lower terminal. Remove the solenoid mounting screws and separated the solenoid from the starter body. Installation is the reverse. This answer is from my Haynes manual. Hope it helps

The answer is .044

Hey Tanya==It is on the lower left of the engine. If you have to ask, I suggest you let someone diagnoise and repair your truck that knows what they are doing as a lot of times you will do more damage than good. GoodluckJoe

Drive car up on set of ramps. Set parking brake, chock rear wheels.

Unhook negative battery cable.

Remove trim cover from torque converter inspection plate (it's a plastic filler plate attached with two screws right by the starter)

Remove both starter mounting bolts.

Remove the stud nuts where cables attach.

Remove starter.

Installation is reverse of removal.

I used a little "dab" of blue thread locker on the starter mounting bolts, and I've used thread tape before. Mounting bolts torque spec is 35 ft. lbs.

This job took me about 30-40 minutes. It's not difficult, but if you've never changed a starter, it can be a pain in the but.

New starters are very expensive, I've seen them listed for around $200. I got one from a 2000 Malibu at a junk yard for $35, it was "clean" and has gotten me 12,000 miles so far. If you absolutely need or want a new one, I would highly recommend a dealership, Carquest or Napa.

Good luck!

Depends on cost of a new starter, and no more than an hours worth of labor. So 50 plus the cost of the starter. Call any auto store to get a rough idea on the cost of it.

In my '86 Park Ave. 3.8 the starter was just behind the bottom of the rad in the front of the car. In my case I could start the car from the starter but not the ignition then later found out it was not enough cranking power in the battery. Remember when lifting your car to change the starter block both back wheels, front-wheel drive will roll,try battery 1st but starter is not too difficult to change.

If you have the 3.0 V6 it could be the timing belt has failed. The 2.4 4 cyl uses a timing chain which will last the life of the engine. Otherwise the 3.0 and the 2.4 engines need fuel and spark to start and run. You are missing one of those.

No

you have to turn key to position 2, there is a hole on the side of the casing the barrel slides into facing upwards. Press small Alan key into hole and press a button down and barrel should slide out.

It is best to begin by removing the positive cable from the battery. Remove the cables from the front of the starter. Remove the starter retaining bolts. Reverse the process to install your new starter.

is there spark to the plugs? is there fuel to the injectors? timing correct? check these things in order and deal with each one to find the answer. too many variables at this point, need to narrow it down

remove and install... ...everyone should have a manual for their vehicle, and the library should have a professional shop manual available for FREE to make copies of...read up and repair like a PRO! Dave :)

Starter motor ring gear is a large gear cog that fits around the circumference of the flywheel on rear of engine. When the starter motor spins, its 'Bendix' engages this gear to rotate the crankshaft..

The Starter Motor Is Located Under The Intake Manifold, You Have To Remove A Bunch Of Stuff To Remove The Manifold To Get To The Starter, It Is A Small Gear Reduction Starter. Not Hard To Replace At That Point. But A Lot Of Trouble To Get To. I Recommend You Take It To A Good Garrage. Expect To Pay A Pretty High Price Also. Considering The Labor Involved. GOD BLESS

on the side of the fuse panel under the hood next to the battery.

re; replacing a starter on a 1987 cutlass cierra is very hard as the one in mine just went. it is best to bring it to a mechanic as the whole engine has to be jacked up and it is well over a 3 hour job. cost me around $300 that was with new starter and labor and it was worth it prices will vary wherever you live. hope that helps

the starter relay is located in a black plastic box on the driver side of the engine compartment

Idk about the 99 civic but on my 95 jdm d15 the crank shaft position sensor is in the distributor. If the sensor is bad then you must replace the whole distributor. A bad wire could also cause this problem. Hope that helps good luck. jdmd15crx

go to autozone or VIP and ask to see the starter for your car in there are instructions with a diagram that may help you. sorry that is the best i can do wolverine

Hey Deborah==Remove the neg battery cable then the wires on the solonoid. Then take out the 2 bolts that hold it on. goodluckJoe

Disconnoct the negative battery terminal. After the car is up on appropriate support so one can work under it, the four bolts, 10MM, that hold the torque converter cover on must be remover and the cover removed. Then, put blocking or a small hydraulic floor jack under the starter and remove the front bolt that holds the heat shield to the starter. Then remove the two bolts,15MM, on the gear end of the motor. Slowly lower the starter down until the wiring can be removed. Be careful the stud(s) stays in place when the nut is removed. (Also when re-installing the new starter). Reverse the process to install the new starter.

The ignition coil is down between the firewall and the back of the engine

There are a few checks that can be done to verify this.

Although some safety precautions are strongly advised, before attempting these procedures:

* Ensure the hand-brake is applied. * Ensure that the car is in Neutral, or Park (if Automatic). * Ensure that the Ignition Key has been removed from the Ignition Switch. Firstly, check the heavy duty cable connecting the solenoid to the battery, for continuity.

Using a jumper cable, connect the starter-motor directly to the battery. If you hear it spin, then it's OK. If not, then the starter-motor itself has burnt out and will need to be replaced. As most cars since the 1970's use the Pre-Engaged type Starter, where the motor and solenoid are built into a common unit, there's generally no need to proceed any further.

To check the solenoid, remove the terminal connection from the Ignition Switch and connect directly to the battery. If the solenoid is OK, you will hear a click, this can be quite loud so there's little chance of missing it. No click indicates that the solenoid is not working. On Pre-Engaged Starters, this unfortunately means that the whole unit must be replaced.

Next, check that there isn't a path to earth, caused by the cable connecting the low tension side of the solenoid to the Ignition Switch, grounding. Also check this wire for continuity. The rest of the starting circuit can be checked, by working backwards checking for interruptions in the supply of power from the battery.

By passkey. If you are talking about a starter by-pass. It is not keyed, but a push button on & off switch. You must break the small wire at the starter relay, or solenoid, and wire the switch in series. After the car starts, you must release the push on/off switch, or you will keep turning the starter motor.
