anyone know how hard/easy it is to replace a starter on 3rd gen camaro? 1990 camaro rs

 

usually starter bolts are not too difficult to get to. never done a 3rd gen but ive done it on a few other cars. as long as u know what ur looking for it shouldnt be bad. lift the car up and the starter should be on the passenger side right at the back bottom of the motor, right before the bellhousing of the tranny. 2-3 bolts is all you should need and if it hasnt been taken out in awhile the crud around it may hold it there. a tap with a hammer will pop it out, but dont let it fall because it can damage its wires (which will need to be removed and are just connected with nuts) or it can hit u in the face [&o]

 

also, BE 100% SURE that you put the wires back on the same way they came off and on the same spot or it wont work

 

also make sure the new starter is charged or else you battery will get drained and you can possible flood the engine like I did.

 

to the best of my knowledge the starter is just an electric motor. I dont believe it holds a charge..... u probably had a bad ground somewhere

Huh? Starter charged? Isnt that next to the headlight fluid?

Seriously, a starter swap is about the easiest beginner task to do. I did my first on a 1985 Olds Calais 2.5 in the middle of a parking lot in a blinding rain storm. [:'(]

LIke the guys said, make sure your wires go back right...I use a little piece of tape and a black sharpie to label every wire I take off....good luck...

 

well there ya go, if scott can do it.. anybody and their momma can..
