Hi there,

Not difficult at all,

Two bolts for the starter
Two nuts for the starter wires
Two screws for the solenoid

The actual process is a bit more complicated, but only marginally. I was trying to give you the complexity level you requested

Best regards
Mike

Phone an auto wreckers in your area, you may find what your looking for there.

Get either a Haynes or Chilton's manual for your car, in the back of these manuals is complete wiring diagrams.

I would say try changing the spark plugs and spark plug wires if gas is old put in at least 5 gallons of fresh gas and change the fuel filter.

sounds like a power wire or a ground wire is loose or not making contact. also check for fusable link in power line that might have blown.

Could be a bunch of things most likely some sort of emissions sensor. If you are close to an "Autozone" they can check the codes for you for free and this should tell you what is setting off the sensor

I think the alternator gave out. The car can't run off the battery no matter how much you boost it. Take th alternator to a parts place and get it tested this is usaully free of charge. it the problem is not the alternator then find the voltage regulator and replace it, they are not expensive. hope this helps

dealer try lubing it with wd40

battery terminal yanking test ,if it move no good

Unless your dead broke, get the dealer or trusted mechanic to do the job. The perils of dealing with loaded springs, etc. just isn't worth the personal risk IMHO. Not to mention that the parts will be hard enough to get and the mechanic will order all the little parts, gaskets, etc. etc. that are needed without having to make multiple trips back to NAPA, if you know what I mean. ;-)

The master brake has gone totally bad

If you have a hole or crack in your airbag the compressor has to work extra hard to try to blow it up (like blowing up a balloon with a hole in it) I would recommend checking out strutmasters.com they have some great kits for the Ninety Eight. There kits will eliminate any problems with the suspension. It is a permanent fix. these convert you from the airbag to a powder coated American made steel coil spring that is guaranteed to last the life of the car. And for a very affordable cost. I added the link below so you can check it out.

Hopefully this will help

Good Luck!!!

Check wheel mount flange for runout...it may have gotten bent as well.

You should be able to register at www.autozone.com and get the info for free. Previously you didn't have to register but now you do. Good luck! If it's not online you should be able to stop into an AutoZone to print out a copy.

Its probably how your bleeding your brakes, but first make sure the bleeding nipples are facing upward. You should bleed diagonaly, front pass wheel then rear driver wheel. Then front driver wheel and rear pass wheel. The abs light has its own computer your have to get it scanned to clear the codes and turn off the light

It should be on the air cleaner hose or Housing itself..

if you have an Autozone near you they will put a tester on it for free or a place or parts store that sells testers and that way you can find out why the check engine light is on because it could be several things that can cause this light to be on

have you replaced the selinoid? It sounds like the 12 volts is not staying constant to the other side without the wire
