My car is a 1991 4 cyl 2.2L, the starter is locate at the front of the engine, near the oil dipstick. I have ramps so I would fit under the car, so I raised the front. Disconect the battery - if you car has one of those GM radios that requires a code to work, please check if you have it handy. Working from trhe to mark and disconnect the wires going to the starter. From underneath the car, remove the bolts that hold the starter, it will slide off and out of the engine, check if you have spacers installed, so you can reinstall the new one as before. My wife helped me, holding the starter as I put the bolts back, then reconnect the wires on the top and the battery cables, adjusted my clock and it was done, no more slow starts anymore. My starter was around $ 100.00 at a local store, it is a compact size very far from my $ 30.00 for my 1984 starter on my pick up c10.
Answeralso, if you're broke like me :) , you can get a starter rebuild kit. the pieces that most often fail on a starter are the brushes inside (electrical contacts which provide current to the [moving] rotor). replacing these is usually pretty easy and once you clean everything else out, it should work like a champ for less than $20, instead of the $100+ you would spend on a new starter. if it is your starter solenoid that failed, that can also be replaced separately from the starter motor, again getting you off cheap! hope this helps! ;)Wiki User
