Super easy to replace actually...prolly just your intake and a couple other hoses and you will be all set, just 2 or 3 screws i dont remember exactly but it is not hard at all.

check your battery... it might have power but not enough cranking amps to get it running.

it happened to me. Check the little wire that connects to the Starter. The starter recieves 2 cables, the 12 V power straight from the battery, and the signal cable, which is a lot smaller, with a female tip at the end. Sometimes it wiggles loose. Push it back in, turn ur car on, come back here on H-T, and tell us it worked Good luck!

I had the same problems, changed out my starter and everything. The ground that runs from the battery to the engine bay was near rotted off. It looked OK at a glance. I went to the local junkyard and snagged one, problem solved.
