starter location

Hello,

The starter is on the side of the engine toward the front of the car. You will need to jack the car up to change it.

I'm trying to change my starter and I can't find it.

Where is the starter located? or at least in what general area.

I have a 1.6L engine if that helps.

At the battery positive post they'll be a black or black and red cable follow that cable towards the engine it will lead you deadon to the starter

BTW what's wrong with the starter?

Oh okay thanks!

Well, it's been making a loud grinding noise when I go to start my car, and sometimes the starter wont engage at all, it'll just click. when it doesn't engage, I usually just wait a few minutes and start it again, and it starts. but it still makes a loud grinding sound.

Grinding noises points to a bad starter or excessive clearance between the drive pinion and flexplate/flywheel-Investigate the flexplate for wear and tear.

Oh alright, I'll check that too. I'd hate to buy a starter and that not be the problem.

Thanks!
