R & R 91 Tercel starter
My mom's 91 Tercel is acting like the starter solenoid contacts need
replacement. The location of the starter looks awkward to reach. What's the best approach to removing it? Is there a way to get it out without removal of the intake manifold? Any pictures available on a site somewhere? I don't have a sevice manual. |

He was directed by a respondent to take a look at AutoZone's online documentation (URL provided). Guess he wants this handed to him on a silver platter, so he's tried independently posting the identical same thing here instead of crossposting as he should have from the beginning. -- Tegger |

Or is she worried about a little knowledge being a dangerous thing so she wants to keep you from damaging her car by trying to learn on it? If your 3E is anything like the '99 Tercel's 5E, you remove the air cleaner hose and intake manifold stay, and out she comes. -- Tegger |

Do you use shop manuals? Do you consider their instructions to be handing it to you on silver platter? Perhaps I should have anticipated not getting a helpful answer on the Toytota group, and crossposted it here originally. |

I'm trying to save her some money on the repair, plus she could not get it done at a shop until Thursday because of closures for Christmas, and she's concerned about her car not starting reliably until then because she's crippled and can't walk anywhere. > Or is she worried about a little > knowledge being a dangerous thing so she wants to keep you from damaging > her car by trying to learn on it? I'm not learning on her car. I'm not a 17 year old kid. > If your 3E is anything like the '99 Tercel's 5E, you remove the air cleaner > hose and intake manifold stay, and out she comes. I've found a toyota forum where someone recommends disconnecting the starter cable and wires and one mounting bolt from underneath the car, removing the air cleaner and then removing the other mounting bolt from the top. I'm not looking forward to jacking up the car on a gravel driveway and crawling underneath it in this weather. |
