    Hi, I can't start. When I turn the key, starter is moving, but engine isn't catch up. All electric is OK, all is running, so I guess it has to be problem with starter. Can someone helps me? Thx John

    1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.

    2. Disconnect the starter cable from the "B" terminal on the solenoid, then the BLK/WHT wire from the "S" terminal.

    3. Remove the two bolts (14 mm) holding the starter; then, remove the starter. A 3/8-inch drive ratchet wrench or breaker bar, with a 6-inch extension, usually does the trick. Spray both bolts with PB Blaster, Kroil, or Liquid Wrench first.

    4. Install in the reverse order of removal.

    NOTE: When installing the starter cable, ensure the crimped side of the ring terminal is facing out. It's a good idea to clean both terminals and connectors with #240 abrasive cloth, or steel wool, and coat with dielectric grease.

    Sorry, I'm not familiar enough with your car. You may want to buy a Haynes Manual.
