heres if you have the 3.1

Disconnect the negative battery cable.
Raise and safely support the vehicle. Disconnect the electrical wiring from the starter, if accessible.
If necessary for access, unfasten the three dust cover bolts, then pull the dust cover back to get to the front starter bolt. Remove the front starter bolt.
Remove the rear support bracket.
Pull the rear dust cover back (if applicable) to gain access to the rear starter bolt and remove the rear bolt.
Note the number and location of any shims.
Push the dust cover back into place (if removed), then lower the starter (disconnect any wiring if previously inaccessible) from the vehicle.


To install:
Position the starter in the vehicle, connect the wiring, then install the rear starter bolt.
Install the front starter bolt, then tighten both bolts to 32 ft. lbs. (43 Nm)
If removed, install the dust cover and the rear support bracket.
Connect the electrical wiring to the starter, if not already attached.
Carefully lower the vehicle, then connect the negative battery cable.


heres if you have the 2.3

Disconnect the negative battery cable.
If necessary for access, remove the air induction tube.
Detach the coolant fan electrical connector, then remove the fan assembly.
Remove the oil filter, if necessary for access to the starter.
For vehicles through 1990, remove the intake manifold brace.
Remove the mounting bolts; some engines may have 3 starter mounting bolts. Pull the starter out of the hole and move toward the front or passenger side of the vehicle.
Disconnect the wiring from the solenoid.
Remove the starter by lifting it between the intake manifold and the radiator.


To install:
Lower the starter between the intake manifold and the radiator, then connect the wiring to the solenoid.
Rotate the starter into installation position and install the mounting bolts. For vehicles through 1994, tighten to 74 ft. lbs. (100 Nm). For 1995 vehicles, tighten the bolts to 32 ft. lbs. (43 Nm).
If equipped, install the intake manifold brace and oil filter, if removed.
Install the cooling fan assembly, then attach the electrical connector.
If removed, install the air induction tube.
Connect the negative battery cable and check the starter for proper operation.



Hope that helps
