The starter is a pain to get out the first time, but gets easier once you figure out how to get the top bolt off.

I wish you luck.

as you walk on the sidewalk you get a call on your cell phone: "come quick! i need some help fast! Some people are chasing me in a car, im on foot! im right around the corner!" You think, "I can pick you up in my vert!" you run to your car with your female sidekick . you smoothly jump the door on the vert (the top is down) and land comfortably in the drivers seat, you female sidekick does the same. you put the key in the ignition AND.... click...click...click....click...click...click... your female sidekick opens the door, gets out the car, gives you a look of pity, and walks away. your friend gets captured by a bunch of ricers in a "Type R toyota".

Hand crank that sun of a witch! FTW!

For hard starting (hot and cold) the FSM recommends checking the ignition coil..... maybe I am misunderstanding?

neg was $62.63 pos was $118.16

For the negative cable you could just get some 4 gauge or lower wire from home depot and some ring terminals, maybe, 10-12 bucks? Also, for better grounding, add replace the braded wire in the back left of the engine that grounds engine -> firewall with 4 or lower gauge wire, too. Also adding more grounds from the engine -> chassis might help.

as far as the neg cable i could have gotten away without spending 60 bucks, but it was designed for the car so what the heck. and i might add some more grounds like you said for extra measure. i think the problem lied in the corroded connection to the battery holder. we'll see, i dont have time to work on it until thursday.

You can get a "made for the car" one from rockauto for $15. I gotta check the condition of the terminal in the middle of that cable on my car. Hopefully, I can wire brush it rather than replace it.

ahh no don't tell me that...do you have a link to it? its not on the car yet, so i can take it back.

The $13.58 one... it's "direct fit" (click on "more info" to see a pic of it). I don't think they have a positive one, though.

Always check rockauto before going to the dealer or local parts store

Nah i've tried that and it didn't work for me, but mine's wierd. I've got remote start and every morning I start it to let it warm up, starts on the first try. Everywhere else, like school, work, store... I'll remote start, and if i'm lucky it'll be on if not I get to the car click it a few times then finally vromm. I can't figure out the problem either on it I just live with it.

I'll try to fix mine this weekend.

next week?

ZZZzzz....

Yeah, the second one in on the top left is a starter relay. It is a black relay. I replaced mine with one from the dealer - didn't help, unfortunately.
