alright after searching other threads i got pissed and just decided to post this this morning it started fine, drove 10 mins to my buddies turned it off for prob 5 mins went back out and it wouldnt start. i put the key in and lights come on, so i have power pluss its a new battery as i turn the key though niothing happens, there are no sounds from the engine., would that be a fuse or a problem with no power getting to the starter? i need to go out and i dont feel like calling caa to tow to the garage if its something stupid any help is great thanks ---

if u bumped it im sure the fuel pump is fine, you probably just droped the positive wire off the starter. or the starter is going, i remember when my starter crapped out i carryed around a big pipe to hit the starter to get it going ---

changing the starter should be easy… disconnect your battery jack up the car disconnect the starter (it’s on the passenger side on the bellhousing of the tranny) unscrew 2 or 3 bolts (I think it’s 2) put a new one in and connect it connect the battery ---

Just like Lith said - 2 bolts (14 mm) that hold it in place – might want to use extension with a swivel. Then pull out the starter – you will need to disconnect the 12 mm grounding nut & disconnect the positive connector. ![http://www.makemilk.com/pic_hosting/s1495/diy/starter_cleanup/starter_4.jpg](http://www.makemilk.com/pic_hosting/s1495/diy/starter_cleanup/starter_4.jpg) ---

starter sucks to do on a 240, you have to get the bolts from under the car. good luck. ---
