Replacing starter relay on my car listed above. After 12 years, 220,000 miles, the starter turns over without engaging, then suddenly engages and remains to run with the engine running. This problem isn't constantly occurring. But I want to take care of it before I get stuck out in no-where. Everyplace I look online, it shows it in a different location. And a toss-up between two different relays with different fittings. Where do I find this relay located? And what number relay do I need?

Sure, the starter relay is located in the fuse panel on the left side of the dash.

Here is a guide to help test it and I have included the starter wiring diagrams so you can see how the system works:

Check out the images (below). Let us know how it goes.
