How do you remove the starter (95 Probe)? I can't seem to reach it from anywhere!

Is it a 4 cyl. or V-6 , 5 speed or automatic ?

dmike25 · 08-17-2003, 10:54

4 cyl 5 speed. Sorry I left that info out!

If you haven't done it already, take the Air filter and air intake off. Now, remove the bracket that runs between the intake manifold and starter motor. If you want, label , then disconnect the wires from the terminals on the starter motor solenoid. Disconnect any clips holding the wiring to the starter. Remove the mounting bolts and detach the starter.

You'll have to bear with me. I'm not to familiar with this car, it's a friends. It's fuel injected. Do I need to remove the plenum? Thanx, Mike

I'm sorry I don't know what you mean when you say plenum ? I know what the word means. But I don't know what object your talking about.

I guess it would be the intake, but air only, no fuel.

Stacy94PGT · 08-17-2003, 11:30

Yeah, take off the air intake asembly.

That means disconnecting all the plumbing to the injectors, doen't it? This "modern" car is all new to me, I'm used to working on Ford's from the 70's & early 80's! Is this something I should try to tackle? I don't have a manual, but the library opens soon and they have one. I appreciate any help you give me.........Thanx, Mike

No, no, All you have to do is take off the Air filter box and the plastic intake going in the air box. Sorry I'm taking so long to reply. I'm watching the Braves and Dimondbacks.
