starter

Sent to Car Experts August 30 06:37 AM

Grandson has 1994 Pontiac Sunbird 4 cyl w/AC. Car only cranks when it feels like it. I thought it sounded like starter/solonoid. Would like to have him change it out so he gains some knoledge. Is this a hard job? He is 20 years old. Do we need more than ramps to get it up.

Thanks,

Don E.
