When I bought my ST the owner just "forgot" to give me the owner's manual.. but I didn't really care that much at the time, but now my starter is going out. Sometimes when I turn it over it just ticks, and it takes about 5-10 times turning it over before it starts. SO that leads me to replacing my starter, only problem is I dont know where it is, because I don't have my owner's manual!!!!!! I hate people!!!
......Anyways, could someone help me out? thanks! Matt -------------------- 1991 MR2 - T-tops - Crimson Red - Gen3 3SGTE - Lots of money

The starter is the first thing the + battery terminal connects to. Follow the big wire from the + on the battery to your starter. I changed my starter about a year ago. Not difficult to change but it was difficult reaching it. A little from underneath, a little from the top...

I already checked the battery, I have checked connections. The connections are fine. I know it's the starter. UGH on top of all this I need to replace my struts. Probably KYB GR2's. when I do that I will install my TEIN S-Techs..
