Hi,

I attached the wiring schematic for the starter circuit. The schematic is for the 2.2L engine. If you have something different, let me know.

As far as the wiring is concerned, there is a larger lug on the starter that will have a heavy gauge red wire to it and another wire that goes to the alternator. There is also a smaller gauge lug where the smaller gauge purple wire goes.

Take a look at the schematic and let me know if it helps.

Take care,

joe
