I have searched the net and have varying answers none of which help me find the starter. I have no crank at all so that won't help.

I'm just showing how easy it is to change a starter in a Nissan sentra with basic tools.
Testimonial: "Thanks for the reply, but it doesn't help. I have a 2001 Nissan Sentra GXE 1.8L - it doesn't look like the one you're working on. I wish the starter was right there - it's not.... unfortunately. The positive cable goes behind (beneath) the intake manifold and I can't find the end to it. I don't SEE a starter, I don't feel a starter, or a solenoid, or anything. I can see why other posts have asked if you have to remove the intake manifold, it looks like you have to. All I want to do right now is find it so I can test for power. The battery is charged and good. All power to lights, windows, etc are good. We're getting no crank no click and no dimming lights on start - nothing to indicate a connection to the starter, hence the hunt. I appreciate any help. Thanks"
SOURCE: Dumb question... According to AllData, this is the
Perhaps you're reading more into this than is really there.
The AllData advise sounds accurate, and I'm confident the spirit of the instruction is to perform these initial steps from under the hood (on the top side of the engine). Having completed the initial steps, go under the car and actually physically remove the starter from underneath.
Did you purchase a single vehicle subscription to AllData from AutoZone? The basic subscription is for only one year. For about the same amount of money you can purchase a vehicle specific repair manual and use it until you wear the ink from the pages. I'll take hardcopy over internet any day!
Richard, how have you proven the battery is good? This is critical. replaced a starter a long time ago and found out it was the battery the whole time..
Testimonial: "You are right. We checked the battery with a meter. I removed the tire to improve access because I had to remove the oil filter (good time to do an oil change, which I did) and remove the manifold to actual remove the old and install the new starter. Took about 3 hours."
