did a quick search and could not find it.

problem with the car: cold weather is upon us and the car does not start from first time. the starter spins (makes a horrible sound while spinning) but would not start the engine. battery is new, alternator was replaced last year.

is it fairly easy diy? i did alternator myself on this car so that was not too hard.

TIA.

 

It's pretty easy. I forgot how to do it off the top my head, but all you need is a basic socket set.

 

so its accessible from the top? doi need to take a lot of things off to get to it? i ran across ls400 starter diy and it looked pretty complicated, i know its a different engine though..

 

If your in Northern Jersey and feel the drive to Stamford, I;ll pop it in for you. I'll have ot look at my car tomorrow to see exactly how to do the starter. I don't have my stock intake so that makes it a tad easier.

 

ASG lol he closer to me!

rlx, define easy?!?! :-)

yes, its incredibly easy. I can do it in 25 minutes. you remove two bolts on the start, the plug and cable, you remove the cruise control box out of the way, and prepare for back pain.

 

ASG, thanks for the offer! im actually in mass now. will have to order "new" starter first and dig up some diagrams then see if i can handle it on my own.

ll, agreed, easy is a relative term. intersting link you got in your sig i heard the "news". have you heard about martin armstrong's stuff?

 

oh yeah, mass is far closer. rlx101, keep that other "line" of convo to email/pm, it would quickly ruin the forum if we talk about that all the time.
