The starter replacement instruction?

Can someone please help me find this instruction please? I mean step by step. Where is it, , how to get to it, and what to be expected, etc.

My car started having intermittent starting problem yesterday. Sometime, it had just one try from the starter, and sometime the car just had no response by turning the key, and later it could start with no problem. I am going to check the electrical wires today, but in case it is the starter, I need the instruction.

Thank you very much, I really need it.

Regards,
Jack

The starter is located undeneath the air intake, I removed my air intake(whole thing) to get easy acess to it..there is one electrical connection and about 3-4 bolts holding it on...not a very hard job..so for a step by step..get a new starter look at that one for bolt pattern...remove air intake toobs...disconnect electrical connector on starter, remove bolts, place new starter in..hope this helped.

Just jack the car up and turn the wheel to the left, and you should be able to reach the two bolts(14mm, I believe) that are connected to the forward side of the tranny, don't forget to disconnect the electrical connection. It should only take about 5-10 minutes, easy job.

Thanks guys! Today, I have checked the wires, they looked ok, IMO. I think I have found the starter, but I don't need to take the air intake away, are we talking about the same thing?
FattyMcFats seems talking about the part that I was looking for, though.
So, I can access to the starter from underneith the car, right? Two bolts and 10 minutes job? That's the greatest news for today!
By the way, my car started OK today, not even one failure. Who knows when will it fail again!?? Can AutoZone or AdvanceAutoParts check the starter for free if I take the starter out to the store?
