Totally! Try to keep on driving your car as long as you can, these cars will run forever if you maintain them!

This video helped so much, got stuck in the mountains after my starter went out, now I can easily replace it after watching this

Thanks for video....I followed step by step. Even the breaker bar tip was needed and helpful. In fact breaker bar was important to take starter off.. while taking it off came across a loose cable which I think was causing problem....I pushed forward taking off the starter. Took it to auto zone. Checked out ok. Battery ok. Reinstalled everything and tightened all connections. Working great. Your video was helpful. I viewed it 10 times to make sure I could do it.....I did. It was the first starter I ever took off a car. Thanks again for making video. Oh and it was as quick as you said.

Many thanks for posting. You saved me $500!!

Good idea you have to remove the battery and tray. 5 mins. for their removal/replace but provides for a lot more maneuvering room. Thanks for your video.

this is a bit off-topic but i see your car looks exactly like mine. how do i move those bar/pipe/valve things preventing me from replacing that TCC solenoid (the double one)? it seems to be metal and not sure how to bend/lift/move it out of the way to unbolt then replace that double solenoid out?

Your bad luck with starters is cause they’re from Oreilly! Auto Zone for the win

Probably an issue with the ignition switch. There was a recall where the defective switch wouldn't send the right power amount and wear out the starter.

It depends, that’s the extra coolant. It should contain some coolant unless your car has been running. I’d fill it back up with coolant between and max, then add more if you need it.

This should be easy but I'm having problems replacing the bottom bolt. So a year or so I left it only with the top one. It was working fine but the top became loose. The hole on the engine lost the thread. I'm want to fix it right and replace that bottom bolt but it's so frustrating. I can't get it in there, making it stay and turn it. I'll try tomorrow. If I can't I will have to pay somebody with the experience or skill or tool or whatever to place a bolt in. Arrrggghhh
