My starter went out today. I was wondering if anyone has ever replaced one bfore. I tried looking for it, but couldn't find it. Can anyone help me? What is a reasonable price to pay for a starter? Thanks in advance.

I don't know the price for one, but I know where it's located. It's not the easiest place to explain, but here goes. It's located underneath the intake pipe (TB-MAF) closer to the TB side down about 1/4 of the way down the motor? Once you get down in there you should see it. I think it might be easier to get at it from the top of the engine bay, i know when you drop the tranny you have to get at some of the starter bolts. (although it's usually someone else getting that stuff, so i can't direct you exactly to the bolts, sorry) I'm usually the one underneath the car getting that stuff taken care of

Anyways, here's what the FSM has to say about it:
- Remove battery negative cable from battery.
- Remove intake air duct
- Remove starter motor mounting bolts.
- Remove battery cable from starter motor.
- Disconnect harness connector from starter motor harness.
- Remove starter motor from under vehicle.

Installation procedure is basically the reverse order of removal (word for word out of the fsm
).
