The starter is located on the passenger side where the engine mates with the transmission. It's held on by two bolts and there are wire harness that need to be disconnected and are live so you need to disconnect the battery ground first. Good luck and hope this helps. Keep me posted if you need instructions to removing the starter or you can log on to Auto Zone and register free of charge and you can get a print out on how to get the job done with common tools. Be safe friend.

It's probably a bad solenoid. If you bought it online it's common, however,check the signal wire w/ a test light, it's the smaller of the wires that goes to your solenoid. Have someone turn the key to start if the test light comes on your ignition is good to the starter. If not check the starter relay if it's good than it's the Solenoid. MAKE SURE THE VEHICLE IS IN NEUTRAL OR PARK WITH EMERG. BRAKE ENGAGED BEFORE YOU GET UNDER THE CAR.

Where is starter located?

The starter is located on the lower side of the motor. Disconnect negative battery cable. Raise and support vehicle. Remove flywheel cover (s). Disconnect starter solenoid wiring. Remove starter mounting bolts. Remove shims and note arrangement for reassembly (if equipped). Remove starter assembly. To install, reverse removal procedure. Ensure shims are installed in original location (if equipped). Tighten fasteners to specification. Starter Bolts 35 Ft. Lbs, Flywheel Cover Bolts 89 Ft. Lbs, Positive Battery Cable-To-Solenoid Nut 89 Ft. Lbs, "S" Terminal Nut 37 Ft. Lbs

Put new battery in 89 corvette now will not turn over

THERE IS A NEUTRAL SAFETY SWITCH ON THE SHIFT LEVER, UNDER THE PLASTIC. THE PURPLE WIRE & OR THE YELLOW WIRE SHOULD HAVE POWER WHEN YOU TUN THE KEY TO START. THERE IS A ANTI THEFT MODULE BEHIND RIGHT SIDE OF DASH THAT MAY OR NOT BE A PROBLEM. THE TROUBLE MAY BE A BLOWN FUSIBLE LINK WIRE. THERE IS AT LEAST ONE AT THE STARTER, SOME AT THE POS. BATTERY TERM. SOME AT THE JUMP START JUNCTION. THESE THINGS ARE SHORT WIRES, THAT ACT AS FUSES. THEY ARE USUALLY THICK INSULATION, SMALL WIRE INSIDE. PULL ON THEM ONE AT A TIME IF THEY STRETCH OR COME APART THERE IS THE PROBLEM. REPAIR OR REPLACE AS NEEDED. I WOULD START WITH THE FUSIBLE LINK AT THE STARTER.

Have been reading the reports on the idle and starting problems on the '89 Vette, and that is the problem we are having also. We've checked the timing and vacuum leaks, etc. etc. Need to try the advice for...

I also have an 89 corvette that had the same problems.Ill tell you what fixed my problem. I also changed the fuel pressure regulator(its under the plentum in front of the distributor)This was not the problem but I replaced it anyway. The problem with the idle was my injectors.The factory multecs that are in there were original to the car and are not compatible with the blends of gasoline that are sold at most stations.Too much ethanol. I replaced mine with a set from fuel injector connection.(FIC) They are rebuilt with a three year warranty. Thats better than new ones. They are bosch 3.The car has run perfect every since.As far as the long starts it helped that too but if you do a little research on the 89 corvette youll find that GM put some crazy software in the computer that year. It requires the engine to turn over two times or about 3 seconds before the injectors fire.Thanks and good [email protected]
