I have a 2009 Pontiac G6 with a 2.4l 4 cylinder and a bad starter, how many bolts hold the starter to the motor and where are they located

SOURCE: how do you access bolts to starter ?

You'll need to block the rear tires and jack the car front end up on a hard surface and set it on jack stands. Then you get to crawl under the vehicle.

SOURCE: What is the tension on cylinder head bolts for a

Would like to state the cylinder head Torque Values, Torque Pattern, and Tightening Sequence, plus additional tips.
[I know it's more than you asked for, but after you read the entire answer here, I believe you'll know why I stated it this way]

Torque Pattern:
Top of head starting from Left going Right,
8, 4, 1, 5, and 9
Bottom of head, (Exhaust manifold side), starting from Left going Right,
7, 3, 6, 2, and 10

You're supposed to use old bolts with the head cut off, (Alignment Dowels), in bolt holes 8 and 10. This way you goop the gasket, and install it, then slide the head on. Place the head bolts in, SNUG them down. Remove those alignment dowels. Then put bolts 8 and 10 in place.
After the head of the bolt is cut off, you saw a slot in the top of the bolt. Helps when you remove it. (Have any old bolts that are long enough for this, and have the correct threads?)

=>Coat No.7 bolt with thread sealant.

Tightening Sequence:
Step 1: Tighten all bolts to 22 Foot Pounds. (30Nm) (Using the above Torque Pattern)

Step 2: Tighten all bolts to 45 Foot Pounds. (61NM)

Step 3: Tighten 1 Through 6 <- to 110 Foot Pounds. (149Nm) DO NOT TIGHTEN No.7 bolt yet!

Step 4: Tighten No.7 bolt to 100 Foot Pounds. (136Nm) DO NOT TIGHTEN further! It only tightens to 100 Ft.Lbs. (136Nm)

Step 5: Tighten bolt 8 Through 10 to 110 Foot Pounds. (149Nm)

Step 6: Repeat Steps 3 , 4, and 5

SOURCE: On a 2001 Town &amp; Country, how do you

1. The Upper Bolt is easily accessed from the front of the vehicle going OVER the radiator. It is partially hidden by a black brace. There is a black ground wire going to where a nut(s) are located. This first nut will allow you to take off the ground connection, however the bolt has another nut further in (to the left) which is totally hidden. Remove this first nut.
2. After the first nut is off, remove the ground wire, then using a deep socket 15mm socket remove the second nut which is attached to the bolt.
3. Go under the vehicle to remove the wires from the Starter. The first wire is the positive cable (should be red) attached on the solenoid portion of the starter. That is a 13mm nut, Remove the nut and lock washer and detatch the wire. The second wire (single small gauge) goes to the solenoid and is connected using a slide lock - press release connection. It is difficult to see the slide lock and the press release located on the top side of the connection. Slide the red slide lock out and press the release, and pull out the connection straight out. Do not force it, or it may damage the connector. Note the placement of the bottom bolt position on the Starter. DO NOT remove the two (2) small, but long connector bolts on the wire connection end of the starter.
4. Remembering the noted postion: remove the lower 15mm bolt from the Starter. The bolt head is located on the back side of plate moving towards the left side of the Van. It is easily accessed from underneath in front of the transmission. Near the end of removing this bolt, support the starter or it will fall out.
5. Remove the Starter, noting the position of the starter. There should be a separate starter facing plate. If if didn't come down with the starter check up in the starter to flywheel opening and remove the plate.
6. Installation is Reverse of above. The facing plate is a little tricky getting it to stay in place. By starting with the bottom bolt it is easier, Make sure you continuously support the Starter in position to save crossthreading the bolt or starter. Hand tighten only the bottom bolt as youwnat to be able to turn the starter slightly to get the top bolt in.
Starter Bolts are tigthen to 35 ft-lbs.
