I did the starter thing 2 weeks ago on my 95 ...sticky starter selennoid n was not engaging starter gear
Sorry to tell you the bad news but manifold n coil packs have to come off to get to starter
Follow the tech on how to take manifold off n rest it on L/F tire
You have to remove the square vacuum manifold in the center of the plenum to get to the aluminum coil pack tray off
Once coil pack tray is off you can get to starter n power wires
Clean n wire brush all with WD-40 or Liquid Wrench to prevent water damage n corrosion ...blow off all humidity from coil packs n electrical connections n reassemble with dielectric grease....n make sure drain hole is unclogged under starter for future mishaps ....take photos n mark vacuums n wires
Please: BENCH TEST STARTER ....hate to do it 2X
