Hi, I have pasted the procedure from autozone.com below. Because this requires removal of the intake manifold, please be as sure as possible that your starter needs replacement. If you have any doubt, please let me know what your symptoms are and what troubleshooting you have done that led you to believe your starter is bad. Also, if you have any questions about the procedure below, please let me know. Thanks for using FixYa.


Removal & Installation


Disconnect the Negative battery cable


Relieve the fuel system pressure (you can do this by placing a rag over the schrader valve on the fuel rail and pressing in the valve stem--just be careful not to spray fuel on your eyes).


Drain the cooling system.


Remove or disconnect the following:


  • Intake manifold heat shield
  • Sight shield
  • Coil module connectors from the coil modules located on the valve covers
  • Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) hose and valve from the valve cover
  • Fuel regulator vacuum tube
  • Vacuum tubes from the AIR solenoid
  • Fuel inlet and return lines
  • Fuel rail bracket retaining nut at the rear lift bracket
  • 2 pushnuts attaching the engine coolant heater wire and set it aside, if equipped
  • Fuel injector electrical connections
  • Fuel rail and injectors
  • Plenum duct clamp at the rear of the intake manifold, loosen
  • Intake manifold bolts and the manifold
Clean the manifold mating surfaces.

Starter spins but engine don't turn over

If you want to repair the starter yourself, you will need a bendix spring repair kit. All instructions should be included. If you take it to a repair shop, they will probably replace the whole starter.

I need to replace starter motor in my 2000 Toyota Tundra 4.7 L V8. Do I need to remove the upper and lower plenum?

No you do not need to remove the plenums. The starter is removed and installed from underneath the truck of from within the wheel well if the wheel is removed. You should go buy a Haynes or Chilton repair manual for $20 they are indisposable to do it yourselfers and will give detailed step-by-step instructions with pictures.

How do i replace a starter in a isuzu trooper 98, where is the starter? thx

The starter is located on the drivers side of the engine compartment, just inside the rear of the inner fender well. ---------- Its not very easy to replace starter.Still the procedure is as follows if you want to do it yourself.---------- Park your car on a level surface.Open the hood. Disconnect the black, negative battery cable.Raise the front of the vehicle using a floor jack and safely support it on 2 jack stands.
  • Remove the starter motor heat shield from underneath the vehicle (driver side) using a wrench or ratchet and socket.You have to drop the lead pipe. Then take off the heat sheild on the wiring harness by the lead pipe and the heat shield on the lead pipe.
  • Disconnect the battery cable from the starter solenoid using a wrench,then remove the second wire connection on the solenoid using a wrench.

  • Remove the two starter mounting bolts using a ratchet, socket, ratchet extension and universal joint to give yourself extra clearance if necessary.

  • Work the starter motor out of the engine compartment and away from the vehicle.

  • Set the new starter and solenoid assembly in place and install the two mounting bolts.

  • Connect the battery cable and wire to the back of the starter solenoid; install the heat shield and lower the vehicle.

    This is the procedure.You can follow it.

    The procedure to replace starter on ford crown Victoria is as follows:-- 1) First disconnect the negative battery cable. 2) Then raise the car up, get under it and look by the oil pan. 3) The starer should be at the back of the engine on the bottom. 4) It is by the tranny, un-bolt Starter from the engine, pull it out toward the rear of the car to get the nosecone out of the housing, as you are unbolting it keep it supported while you un-bolt the wires from the solenoid, 5) The starter is removed. Removing the engine is not necessary.But if engine is removed then it makes it more easy,but removing engine is not very easy. Its only three bolts, and if you are doing it by yourself, you should use a mirror and jack the car with jack stands so you can see and move around. Its hard but you won't have to drop the engine. for more help.please click on this link directly. the link has few diagrams and instruction to make the procedure bit simple. http://www.p71interceptor.com/starter/removereinstall/ Thanks.

    I have a toyota the need a timing belt

    The belt should be replace at 90,000 miles on the V6. The water pump should also be replaced as it is driven by the cam belt. The procedure to replace the belt and water pump is far too complicated to try and explain on this forum. You need photos and detailed instruction. If you wish to tackle this yourself I suggest you purchase a Chilton's repair manual for you car. It will have detailed instructions with photos of how to replace the cam belt and water pump.
