Left side of the back of the engine under the intake manifold.

Re: M88 Starter
Okey, thanks!
Is it difficult to change solenoid or do i have to remove lots of hoses and other stuff?
Edit after seeing the pic: ffs

Re: M88 Starter
You will have to remove the air filter housing (1 MAF connector, one mounting bolt and the flexible hose to the plenum), then the plenum chamber itself (hose on the top centre and bottom centre, plus the 6 throttle body flexible hoses). Once the plenum of off you can get easy access to the starter and piggy-back solenoid.

changing the starter is a pig of a job. Before you dive in, be absolutely sure that it isn't something else, like the ignition switch (which is a far more common fault).
