Its right under the intake manifold on the drivers side you dont have to remove the intake manifold. Before you change it make sure your getting power to the small purple wire to the starter while trying to start it. If you are bad starter its common for the starters to go bad on those cars.

It is on the side of the engine toward the top of the oil pan as far as height. It bolts to the bell housing on the transmission. Make sure you disconnect the battery before working on it.
