For GOD'S sake, someone HELP ME!!!!

Can anyone CORRECTLY install a starter?...............TONIGHT!! I'll pay you for doing it. I didn't originally remove it or put it back but I just had to buy a new Optima battery (it was put back in wrong) and now it won't turn over! I want to start it TONIGHT. Call me at 601-9502 if you can/will do this TONIGHT and do it RIGHT. I'm a moron. I can design a fuel system but I've never messed with the starter before........

HELP!!!!!

You assmunch. I'm NOT A MECHANIC! I'm a MORON! A frustrated moron. I NEED to hear the blower whine. The car is getting dyno tuned SOON. I can't do that if it doesn't run. I'm afraid I'll jack it up again(I didn't do it the first time).

YOU'RE the ASSMUNCH! Call me, dude. lol. You can walk me through it. If memory serves me correctly (someone else's memory) there are THREE wires and TWO nuts.

P.S. I'm going back outside to jack the car back up and look at it MYSELF. It can't be that difficult, I've just never needed to mess with it myself.

Why don't you just set that thing ON FIRE...

You'd probably be happier that way.

(sorry thats probably the beer talking)

I tried to get the bastage to sell it to me. But he insists on blowing himself up before he gets it running

UPDATE:

It appears that the starter is FRIED. Apparently, wiring the starter backwards the first time permanently damaged the starter and the battery. Soooooooo..............$300+ later..............

I'm going to write a book about all this when I'm done................as if it'll ever be done..............lol........

OMFG i hate you. You are horrible luck. I walked outside to jump in the car and move it. And it made noises from the starter without trying to turn over the engine.

then i let off and retried it and it fired up instantly. Its either the starter being gay or its the retarded ignition in my car(GM did a half *** $450 job on it)
