OMGosh it's one thing after another -> Starter location

Hi  Thanks so much .. that is hopeful .

I gave away my 3 volume set for my series of cars thinking
I was going to get the next generation ....

if any one has a diagram or photo the general location of the
starter that would be good.

I am aware that it is generally on the passenger side under
the motor, but I have no idea how to access that area.

THE GOOD NEWS is that I have a garage to park it in
(friend of my hubby is out of town),
if I can get it started one more time.

Cheers,  Fay

Also, have limited time on computer ... so feel to leave
message or call me at 928-600-1733 with info about
starter location for my particular model and year.

THANKS !
