starter is located on the front side of the motor, easiest way to reach it is from underneath just between the radiator and the motor, two 13mm bolts hold it to the transmission
Where is the starter on my 2001 Nissan Sentra?
I have removed the air intake and the battery and everything on that side - I still can't find the starter!
my 1992 nissan sentra will not start. It will trun and turn but will not start. when it does start.It missing alot and turn off very fast then it just turns but won't start
try boost first then if that dont work try hitting the starter with a hammer or something hard while someone tries starting while you hitting it if it starts it mean the starter is gone
The starter on 4th generation (1995-1999) Nissan Sentras is very easy
to locate and replace. It is a mostly-black cylinder, about 9 or 10"
long and 3" thick, that sits on the front center of the engine. It is
held on by 2 bolts, and has 2 wires connected. The 2 bolts come off
easily, one of the wires simply comes unplugged easily, and the other
has a small bolt holding it on.
Replacement may involve
removing a bracket that holds the throttle (gas pedal) in a certain
position, because there may not be enough room to work with that
bracket in place. Removing and replacing that bracket (which is held
onto the engine block by 2 bolts), does not affect the operation of the
car.
If this is the first time the starter is having
issues, replacement can be put off for a couple weeks by taking a small
hammer (or something similar) and hitting the starter. Don't hit it too
hard, but don't be too gentle. It might take several hits to get it to
work. This is only a temporary solution. The starter WILL have to be
replaced eventually.
it should be underneath your car in between the firewall and the engine. Now you don't want to supply direct power to your starter because you'll end up frying it. However to just start the car once you've located the starter, get a long screwdriver with a plastic handle and connect the two wires with the screwdriver.
As for a long term fix, without investing the money to replace the necessary parts. You will need to attach a wire that can handle 12v to both wires on your starter separately. Then connect the other ends of both wires to a switch that can handle 12v, and mount that in your car somewhere. Then whenever you need to start your car just flip the switch on until the car starts then once it is started flip it back off. I know this sounds like a lot but it is very doable with about $5 and a little bit of time.
