Taking the starter off ?

[defiance]

Mine is completely fried and wont move anymore, I didn't see any write ups or how to for this issue. I can see that its buried underneath a bunch or wires and pipes. Just wondering if theres any tactics or tips at getting this thing off ?

Its an 88 EFI Automatic thanks a bunch guys.

long ratchet extensions are your friend.

unhook the battery first!

Also this may have been answered before but will a starter from any newer Accord work for this car ?
3rd gen parts are getting hard to find !

There under 70$ at oriellys I just bought one yesterday they had 8 in stock.

I don't think you will find one that interchanges you never no.

If you have old starters you can take them apart and rebuild 1 good starter. Very easy to do. You will need a those impact screwdrivers that you hammer to get stubborn screws off. Junkyards always have starters, you can buy like 4-6 starters from the junkyard to one rebuilt one from an auto parts store.

Location of the starter is underneath the intake manifold correct ?

There are 2 bolts, 14mm head.

just follow the fat wires from the battery

passenger side very near the battery. Like said follow the positive wire from the battery to it. its on top of the transmission.

I used a 12" extension on the top bolt and a 6" on the bottom hidden bolt. I used the new starter as a reference to where the bottom bolt was.

if you have an automotive electrical place in town,have it rebuilt, you will probably be better off then most of the chinese rebuilt ones, at least the warranty is local. Don't get one from autozone or advance,they are complete garbage

Well, in actuality, it's two bolts, a nut and a spade connection. Then a lot of wrangling with hoses.
