I have a 94 Buick Skylark and trying to keep it alive for my child.
The starter died on it and I need to replace it. Hoping to avoid paying for repairs as I am broke, can anybody tell me where it is on the car? Where can I get a layout of the car so I can find it and try to fix it?
Any suggestions are welcome.
TIA.

Follow your positive battery cable. It should lead you right to it.
Hope you have the 3.1L motor. Here are the procedures to replace the starter.
REMOVAL & INSTALLATION Except 2.3L and 2.4L Engines Disconnect the negative battery cable. Raise and safely support the vehicle. Disconnect the electrical wiring from the starter, if accessible. If necessary for access, unfasten the three dust cover bolts, then pull the dust cover back to get to the front starter bolt. Remove the front starter bolt. Remove the rear support bracket. Pull the rear dust cover back (if applicable) to gain access to the rear starter bolt and remove the rear bolt. Note the number and location of any shims. Push the dust cover back into place (if removed), then lower the starter (disconnect any wiring if previously inaccessible) from the vehicle. To install:
Position the starter in the vehicle, connect the wiring, then install the rear starter bolt. Install the front starter bolt, then tighten both bolts to 32 ft. lbs. (43 Nm) If removed, install the dust cover and the rear support bracket. Connect the electrical wiring to the starter, if not already attached. Carefully lower the vehicle, then connect the negative battery cable.
