I am fixing the starter motor on a 2.4L (VIN T) engine. I am using a Chilton manual, but it doesn't show me or tell me where the air inlet duct from the throttle body is located and I am a greenhorn.

Goes to the square box that holds the air filter.

What does that have to do with starter? Are you supposed to remove it?

You remove it to gain better access to top starter bolt.

I wanted to tell you that it worked! Removed the air inlet duct (2 bolts, loosen screws on 2 hose clamps), removed the top bolt (with the help of a long bar - it was tight), removed the bottom bolt from underneath, removed the terminal-thingee on the solenoid, removed the wiring from the starter. A little trouble here since the metal was fatigued and the piece broke off with the wires and bolt still attached - but a pair of vice grips fixed that! Put in the new starter, torqued the bolts to 66 ft# and hooked everything up. Hurray! All starter motors should be this simple. Thanks for your help.
