Read evidence and context

Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Suggestion
Actually I think Doug is correct, all you need to remove are the airbox/throttle body, and the air distributor just behind the throttle body, then use a couple of long extensions.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

So I am going to make a weekend project out of the AOS and the starter. My starting is hangin up when the car starts and I let off the key.. Before I chip the FW I better replace it. Any tips or tricks?

POST 2Original post

The job will hopefully go pretty smooth, it's easier than it looks. If I remember correctly, you can get to it after removing the alternator with a couple of long extensions. Also, I think it was Suncoast that has them on an exchange at under $100 if I remember correctly, worth checking.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Mayby if I have to take off the altinator too. I may as well do it also. I think Dharn is going to be my ace on one. Do I need any gaskets or anything?

POST 4Original post

You don't need to take off the alternator to do the starter. But you will need a couple of long extensions to get the bottom bolt. Wish I had a picture for you, but you go in under the alternator. Not to hard a DIY, remove the airbox and the throttle body for access. I think there is a thread on the DIY on one of the boards. Let me take a look.

POST 5Original post

Actually I think Doug is correct, all you need to remove are the airbox/throttle body, and the air distributor just behind the throttle body, then use a couple of long extensions. Here's a write up on Renntech; http://www.renntech.org/forums/index...r-replacement/ It was much easier than I would've thought, that I remember.

POST 6Original post

Yes, I forgot about taking off the plenum. That really helps with the access.

POST 7Original post

When the starter hangs are you sure that it is not the ign switch hanging?

yeah it groans

POST 9Original post

I bought a 24" extension as shown in the DIY but could never get it in there, the thing was too long so it hit the edge of the body. I used a couple of 12" extensions instead.
