I am removing my starter and have removed the two bolts holding the starter but can not get the 2 wires unplugged on the side of the starter. Since they are held on with plastic connectors I am afraid to put too much pressure on them. Could someone please tell me how these connectors should be removed or unplugged. Thank you very much for your help.

Thanks everyone, you have been a tremendous help. I think I will just go ahead and replace the starter. Might give it a shot myself since it seems fairly easy. Hope everyone has a great day and weekend.

Thank you lenore. I will look into your suggestion. Do you by chance know where the starter is located my car? Have a great evening and thanks a million for your help.

Thank you for the reply lenore. What happens is when I turn the key nothing happens. If I keep turning the key 9-10 time very rapidly it will finally start if I catch it just right. Thanks for the link, any idea where I can buy the contacts and plunge? Thanks very much for your help.

I need to replace the starter on my 96 ES300 and was wondering if anyone can tell me if the 96 Camry starter is the same as the 96 ES300 starter? Reason, I figure the Camry starter might be a little cheaper than the Lexus if they are indeed the same starter. Your reply will be greatly appreciated. Thank you and have a great evening. PS - Can someone tell me where the starter is located on the engine? Thank you. Golffnutt

Hope someone can help. When I turn the key, car won't start, if I keep turning the key off and on real fast and kind of pull out on the key then it will finally catch and crank. Does this sound like the ignition switch, starter, or battery terminals maybe have a short? I appreciate any input and help I can get on this, thank you so much.

Neb & Golf, Check out the ASX vs. KH16 Kuhmo: the ASX is higher rated in all categoreies for just pennies more/tire. They are both overall value leaders, the ASX is just higher mileage and speed rated. The KH may indeed be a tad quieter, but not anything significant. You can't go wrong with either one! Thanks guys I really appreciate the input. Have a great day. :)

92lex thank you, any other recommendations out there guys? Thanks.

Supraman thank you. As for price I would obviously like to stay under $100 per tire but am willing to consider higher if and only if there may be something out there that is head and shoulders above the rest. $125.00 max per tire though. I will definitely look into the Kuhmo for sure. Thank you.

SupraMan thank you for that informative list. I will take your suggestion and do some homework for sure on this tire. Have a great day.

Looking for new tire brand recommendations for my '96 ES300. My priority in tires is: 1) Quiet 2) Traction 3) Comfortable Ride Thank you for your suggestions. Golffnutt

Would anyone happen to know where I could download FSM for '96 ES300? Thank you.

Can anyone help? When I try to download the service manuals for the ES300 it asks me for a serial number. Any idea how I get the serial number? Thank you very much for your help.

fluguyco could you share the online address with us on where you bought the spray paint? Thank you.

jonw440 where can I buy all of the supplies you mentioned in your paint repair guide? Thank you.
