The starter spins the crankshaft via the flywheel. The teeth along the outside edge of the flywheel are engaged by the starter and disnegaged when you let go of the key.

The starter is located near where the transmisson and the engine bolt up, depending on the drivetrain, is attached to either the transmission or the engine block.

You post threads like this and don't know where the starter is or how it works?

Wow.

At least he's humble enough to ask a question that he doesn't know about rather than just acting like he knows.

Killer fro by the way

I'm not knocking a guy for wanting to learn. I just figured if he knew his stuff about HVAC, then he should have known.

But for wanting to learn.
