If you remove the transmission fluid pan you will see it. It has the wiring harness attached. You did not give any information on what the problem is, so be sure before you pull this, as it's a dirty job that's better done in proper facilities.

It is attached to the bell housing on the drivers side. The starter is located in the back of the engine, under the intake manifold.

if you want to make sure if there is chip/transponder in your key, you can test it using silver paper (the one from inside the cigarette pack), wrap properly the plastic handle of your key and make sure the only thing can see is the metal from your key. then start your engine and if it does't start , it means there is chip built in in your key.

SOURCE: where is the solenoid for a 2003 kia spectra my

If it is the starter solenoid you are refering too, it is nearest the firewall, mounted to the engine through the transmission. Should be 3 bolts I believe. It is part of the starter mounted directly on top. If "no crank" is the issue, then you may be looking at replacing the starter motor with solenoid assembly. You can actually get a better look from underneath the vehicle just above the right hand(passenger side) axle where it goes into the transmission.

Just replace engine in 2005 kia spectra 2.0l and now it won't crank. do i need to reset the computer or what, if so how to do it?

If you just replaceD the engine in your 2005 Kia Spectra, was the replacement engine a good one? It sounds to me like it's a starter or starter solenoid issue! Try "hot-wiring" the starter solenoid, to see if the engine cranks. All security systems are "low level" in terms of current control. But a DIRECT connection from a good battery to the starter solenoid should engage it, which should complete the circuit from the battery to the starter motor.
